Now that the exact rename detection is linear-time (with a very small constant factor to boot), there is no longer any reason to limit it by the number of files involved. In some trivial testing, I created a repository with a directory that had a hundred thousand files in it (all with different contents), and then moved that directory to show the effects of renaming 100,000 files. With the new code, that resulted in [torvalds@woody big-rename]$ time ~/git/git show -C | wc -l 400006 real 0m2.071s user 0m1.520s sys 0m0.576s ie the code can correctly detect the hundred thousand renames in about 2 seconds (the number "400006" comes from four lines for each rename: diff --git a/really-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1 b/moved-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1 similarity index 100% rename from really-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1 rename to moved-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1 and the extra six lines is from a one-liner commit message and all the commit information and spacing). Most of those two seconds weren't even really the rename detection, it's really all the other stuff needed to get there. With the old code, this wouldn't have been practically possible. Doing a pairwise check of the ten billion possible pairs would have been prohibitively expensive. In fact, even with the rename limiter in place, the old code would waste a lot of time just on the diff_filespec checks, and despite not even trying to find renames, it used to look like: [torvalds@woody big-rename]$ time git show -C | wc -l 1400006 real 0m12.337s user 0m12.285s sys 0m0.192s ie we used to take 12 seconds for this load and not even do any rename detection! (The number 1400006 comes from fourteen lines per file moved: seven lines each for the delete and the create of a one-liner file, and the same extra six lines of commit information).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, 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 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. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. 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. 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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
