    Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache · 18bdec11
    Shawn O. Pearce 提交于
    The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
    user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
    caching base objects of deltas.  This is not normally meant to be
    a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
    be suitable for almost all workloads.
    
    We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
    meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
    cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
    during revision traversal.  Since trees tend to be relatively small
    objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
    number of objects.
    
    On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
    different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
    the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
    
    We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
    we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache.  These are the objects
    that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
    be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
    that penalty over the entire data.
