So you could make the temporary object repository persistant between pulls
to avoid reloading them across the wire. Something like:
get_commit(sha1)
{
if (sha1 in real_repo) -> done
if (!(sha1 in tmp_repo))
load sha1 to tmp_repo
get_tree(sha1->tree)
for each parent
get_commit(sha1->parent)
move sha1 from tmp_repo to real_repo
}
get_tree(sha1)
{
if (sha1 in real_repo) -> done
if (!(sha1 in tmp_repo))
load sha1 to tmp repo
for_each (sha1->entry) {
case blob: if (!sha1 in real_repo) load to real_repo
case tree: get_tree()
}
move sha1 from tmp_repo to real_repo
}
The "load sha1 to xxx_repo" needs to be smarter than my dumb wget
based script ... it must confirm the sha1 of the object being loaded
before installing (even into the tmp_repo).
