Subject: [PATCH] trace: measure where the time is spent in the index-heavy operations

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2018 08:39:56 +0700

All the known heavy code blocks are measured (except object database
access). This should help identify if an optimization is effective or
not. An unoptimized git-status would give something like below (92% of
time is accounted).

 This was in my old index-helper series. The series was replaced by
 fsmonitor but perhaps some measurements like this still helps.

 In my old version I measured packed-refs read time too. But
 packed-refs is mmap'd now, no need to worry about it (or at least its
 initial cost).
