I'll dig some more. It *should* be essentially the following times
taken together:
$ time git log --raw -M --topo-order >/dev/null
real 0m5.448s
user 0m4.599s
sys 0m0.794s
$ time git log -L:get_name:builtin/describe.c >/dev/null
real 0m0.832s
user 0m0.796s
sys 0m0.032s
$ time git log -L:get_name:builtin-describe.c 81b50f3ce40^ >/dev/null
real 0m0.489s
user 0m0.465s
sys 0m0.022s
So I'm losing a factor of about 4 somewhere, which I can't explain right
now.
It could be improved further if --follow was fixed, because then the
first step should be much faster than diffing *all* the trees.
