From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 22:19:51 +0000 (-0400) Subject: fetch-pack: sort the list of incoming refs X-Git-Tag: v1.7.11-rc1~16^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9e8e704f0bc14da325aa63f639c6dc782c81e26f;p=git fetch-pack: sort the list of incoming refs Having the list sorted means we can avoid some quadratic algorithms when comparing lists. These should typically be sorted already, but they do come from the remote, so let's be extra careful. Our ref-sorting implementation does a mergesort, so we do not have to care about performance degrading in the common case that the list is already sorted.
