If you're willing to trade off (much) longer build time for a later
faster git you can also do a profile feedback build with
$ make profile-all
# make prefix=... install
$ make prefix=/usr PROFILE=BUILD all
# make prefix=/usr PROFILE=BUILD install
This will run the complete test suite as training workload and then
rebuild git with the generated profile feedback. This results in a git
which is a few percent faster on CPU intensive workloads. This
may be a good tradeoff for distribution packagers.
Note that the profile feedback build stage currently generates
a lot of additional compiler warnings.
Or if you just want to install a profile-optimized version of git into
your home directory, you could run:
$ make PROFILE=BUILD install
As a caveat: a profile-optimized build takes a *lot* longer since the
git tree must be built twice, and in order for the profiling
measurements to work properly, ccache must be disabled and the test
suite has to be run using only a single CPU. In addition, the profile
feedback build stage currently generates a lot of additional compiler
warnings.
Issues of note:
