Hi.
I just wanted to know why log -g operations are much slower than normal
log, even when the revisions don't have any merge-info change?
Just a quick statistic. Revision 46237 in my repository changed two
files, and didn't change any property at all. By the way, this is the
common case in development, so probably 90% (or even more) of the
revisions of a repository will fall into this category.
> log -r 46237 $REPO
takes less than a second
> log -g -r 46237 $REPO
takes 12 seconds, besides the server CPU hitting 100%
Is there any task planned to improve these statistics?
Improvement
