[ Home | Articles | Account | People | Projects | FAQ ] Git cutting corners
My relationship with git is still one of love and hate. It cuts corners to increase performance in a couple of places and that can be really bloody annoying.
For example, jerry renamed one of the top-level directories in Samba 3 (revision 9f672c26d63955f613088489c6efbdc08b5b2d14). Git will skip rename detection in this revision because of the number of files it affects, thus causing the output of "git log <path>" of this particular directory to be useless.
I'm the first to admit "bzr log" on directories and files in large history projects is painfully slow, but at least it gets the output right.
