Description Ondrej Vrabec 2009-11-05 08:14:39 UTC

I think that the initial hg status scan on the whole clone, as it is invoked in 6.8, is a bit inefficient. In some cases
it may take too much time and too many machine resources. We should find a way how to make the initial scan faster.

Probably we could run the scan only for opened projects (well, in fact for those files/folders for which an annotation
request comes). It would probably mean to hold a cache for already scanned repository folders and run the scan
on-demand. The question is, would this on-demand scan be really faster? Because it would probably mean that more hg
status commands will be run throughout the session.
And secondly, how would we solve the issue with Favorites view? If you have a hg repository mounted in Favorites, than
when you open the view, an annotation request comes for the repository root and the scan would be run for the whole root
(which means we are again at the beginning). See issue 175662
