Currently, in sub 'close_file', git-svn creates a temporary file and copies the contents of the blob to be written into it. This is useful for symlinks because svn stores symlinks in the form: link $FILE_PATH Git creates a blob only out of '$FILE_PATH' and uses file mode to indicate that the blob should be interpreted as a symlink. As git-hash-object is invoked with --stdin-paths, a duplicate of the link from svn must be created that leaves off the first five bytes, i.e. 'link '. However, this is wholly unnecessary for normal blobs, though, as we already have a temp file with their contents. Copying the entire file gains nothing, and effectively requires a file to be written twice before making it into the object db. This patch corrects that issue, holding onto the substr-like duplication for symlinks, but skipping it altogether for normal blobs by reusing the existing temp file.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 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.
