Bug 540882 – repoman manifest calls git unnecessarily

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Michał Górny 2015-02-21 09:17:18 UTC]

It looks that 'repoman manifest' calls git. I have no clue what for, but the result is that generating Manifests is really slow with big git repos.

It calls git to find out if any files are modified, but we can make it skip that if --if-modified=y is not enabled.

There's a patch in the following branch:

And the issue is back, making repoman slower than ever! ;-)

[Comment 6 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2016-01-27 19:26:04 UTC]

what version of portage is it back in?

Current git. I blame the repoman rewrite.

[Comment 8 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2016-01-27 20:42:36 UTC]

yes, It was a rewrite regression.
