Commit 645c432d61 (pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when
generating non-stdout pack, 2016-09-10) added two timing tests for
packing to an on-disk file, both with and without bitmaps. However, the
non-bitmap one isn't interesting to have as part of p5310's regression
suite. It _could_ be used as a baseline to show off the improvement in
the bitmap case, but:
- the point of the t/perf suite is to find performance regressions,
and it won't help with that. We don't compare the numbers between
two tests (which the perf suite has no idea are even related), and
any change in its numbers would have nothing to do with bitmaps.
- it did show off the improvement in the commit message of 645c432d61,
but it wasn't even necessary there. The bitmap case already shows an
improvement (because before the patch, it behaved the same as the
non-bitmap case), and the perf suite is even able to show the
difference between the before and after measurements.
On top of that, it's one of the most expensive tests in the suite,
clocking in around 60s for linux.git on my machine (as compared to 16s
for the bitmapped version). And by default when using "./run", we'd run
it three times!
So let's just drop it. It's not useful and is adding minutes to perf
runs.

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
