Subject: [PATCH v2] trace: measure where the time is spent in the index-heavy operations

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2018 19:27:56 +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:

    0.001791141 s: read cache ...
    0.004011363 s: preload index
    0.000516161 s: refresh index
    0.003139257 s: git command: ... 'status' '--porcelain=2'
    0.006788129 s: diff-files
    0.002090267 s: diff-index
    0.001885735 s: initialize name hash
    0.032013138 s: read directory
    0.051781209 s: git command: './git' 'status'

 I updated the patch a bit to avoid git_path(). A merge on 'pu' still
 conflicts, but it's much easier to resolve by making sure free() is
 called after the trace_performance_since() line in read_index_from().

 It's technically dangerous to re-use base_path again this way, too
 far away from its assignment since 4 other git_path() calls may have
 been done and changed base_path value. But since tg/split-index-fixes
 should enter 'master' eventually and make it safe to re-use
 base_path, I think it's ok.
