Subject: Does git load index file into memory?
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:22:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFd4kYCTuLMZ6UDk49MASbZfhwjgUcmfeyd6jZS5QO9-LnzLCw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Does git load the entire index file into memory when it wants to
edit/view it? I ask because I wonder if this can become a problem with
the index file becomes arbitrarily large, like for the Linux kernel.
Thanks,
