When we expand a user-format, we try to avoid work that isn't necessary for the output. For instance, we don't bother parsing the commit header until we know we need the author, subject, etc. But we do always load the commit object's contents from disk, even if the format doesn't require it (e.g., just "%H"). Traditionally this didn't matter much, because we'd have loaded it as part of the traversal anyway, and we'd typically have those bytes attached to the commit struct (or these days, cached in a commit-slab). But when we have a commit-graph, we might easily get to the point of pretty-printing a commit without ever having looked at the actual object contents. We should push off that load (and reencoding) until we're certain that it's needed. I think the results of p4205 show the advantage pretty clearly (we serve parent and tree oids out of the commit struct itself, so they benefit as well): # using git.git as the test repo Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4205.1: log with %H 0.40(0.39+0.01) 0.03(0.02+0.01) -92.5% 4205.2: log with %h 0.45(0.44+0.01) 0.09(0.09+0.00) -80.0% 4205.3: log with %T 0.40(0.39+0.00) 0.04(0.04+0.00) -90.0% 4205.4: log with %t 0.46(0.46+0.00) 0.09(0.08+0.01) -80.4% 4205.5: log with %P 0.39(0.39+0.00) 0.03(0.03+0.00) -92.3% 4205.6: log with %p 0.46(0.46+0.00) 0.10(0.09+0.00) -78.3% 4205.7: log with %h-%h-%h 0.52(0.51+0.01) 0.15(0.14+0.00) -71.2% 4205.8: log with %an-%ae-%s 0.42(0.41+0.00) 0.42(0.41+0.01) +0.0% # using linux.git as the test repo Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4205.1: log with %H 7.12(6.97+0.14) 0.76(0.65+0.11) -89.3% 4205.2: log with %h 7.35(7.19+0.16) 1.30(1.19+0.11) -82.3% 4205.3: log with %T 7.58(7.42+0.15) 1.02(0.94+0.08) -86.5% 4205.4: log with %t 8.05(7.89+0.15) 1.55(1.41+0.13) -80.7% 4205.5: log with %P 7.12(7.01+0.10) 0.76(0.69+0.07) -89.3% 4205.6: log with %p 7.38(7.27+0.10) 1.32(1.20+0.12) -82.1% 4205.7: log with %h-%h-%h 7.81(7.67+0.13) 1.79(1.67+0.12) -77.1% 4205.8: log with %an-%ae-%s 7.90(7.74+0.15) 7.81(7.66+0.15) -1.1% I added the final test to show where we don't improve (the 1% there is just lucky noise), but also as a regression test to make sure we're not doing anything stupid like loading the commit multiple times when there are several placeholders that need it.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
