From 0f1866d3d68ff49b1071e2114940e42c98a09812 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 22:20:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add git config-batch support for improved performance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements GitBatchConfiguration to use the new 'git config-batch' command for reading config values through a single persistent process, reducing process spawn overhead especially on Windows platforms. The implementation maintains full backward compatibility by: - Automatically falling back to individual git config calls when config-batch is not available - Using fallback for operations not yet supported by config-batch v1 (typed queries, enumeration, regex, write operations) - Gracefully handling errors and process failures Includes comprehensive test coverage (12 tests) verifying fallback behavior and correctness across all configuration operations. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- .../Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationTests.cs | 388 ++++++++++++++++++ src/shared/Core/Git.cs | 4 +- src/shared/Core/GitConfiguration.cs | 244 +++++++++++ 3 files changed, 635 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 src/shared/Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationTests.cs diff --git a/src/shared/Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationTests.cs b/src/shared/Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationTests.cs new file mode 100644 index 000000000..649113bd7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/shared/Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationTests.cs @@ -0,0 +1,388 @@ +using System;

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds comprehensive integration tests that verify git config-batch functionality with real Git processes containing the config-batch command. Performance benchmarks demonstrate significant improvements: - 7.87x speedup on test repositories (20 config reads) - 14.31x speedup on office repository (15 keys × 3 iterations) - 16.42x speedup for credential operations (18 keys) - 4.99x speedup for sequential reads (50 reads) - Up to 20.50x speedup in optimal conditions Real-world impact: Each credential operation (fetch/push/clone) is ~660ms faster on Windows with git config-batch support. Integration tests verify: - Batch process initialization and reuse - Multiple queries producing correct results - Different configuration scopes (local, global, all) - Performance comparison between batch and traditional methods Also fixes disposal check to occur before fallback path, ensuring ObjectDisposedException is thrown consistently when using disposed objects. All 30 tests passing (16 batch config + 12 fallback + 2 credential scenarios). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- PERFORMANCE_RESULTS.md | 168 +++++++++++ .../GitBatchConfigurationIntegrationTests.cs | 260 +++++++++++++++++ .../GitConfigCredentialScenarioTest.cs | 213 ++++++++++++++ .../GitConfigPerformanceBenchmark.cs | 273 ++++++++++++++++++ src/shared/Core/GitConfiguration.cs | 9 +- 5 files changed, 919 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 PERFORMANCE_RESULTS.md create mode 100644 src/shared/Core.Tests/GitBatchConfigurationIntegrationTests.cs create mode 100644 src/shared/Core.Tests/GitConfigCredentialScenarioTest.cs create mode 100644 src/shared/Core.Tests/GitConfigPerformanceBenchmark.cs diff --git a/PERFORMANCE_RESULTS.md b/PERFORMANCE_RESULTS.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e705ff938 --- /dev/null +++ b/PERFORMANCE_RESULTS.md @@ -0,0 +1,168 @@ +# Git Config-Batch Performance Results + +## Executive Summary + +The implementation of `git config-batch` support in Git Credential Manager provides **significant performance improvements** on Windows, with speedups ranging from **5x to 16x** depending on the workload. + +## Test Environment + +- **Git Version**: 2.53.0.rc0.28.gf4ae10df894.dirty (with config-batch support) +- **Git Path**: C:\Users\dstolee\_git\git\git\git.exe +- **Test Repository**: C:\office\src (Azure DevOps repository) +- **Platform**: Windows 10/11 (MINGW64_NT-10.0-26220) +- **Test Date**: 2026-01-17 + +## Performance Results + +### 1.
