fetch: do not look for submodule changes in unchanged refs When fetching recursively with submodules, for each ref in the superproject, we call check_for_new_submodule_commits() which collects all the objects that have to be checked for submodule changes on calculate_changed_submodule_paths(). On the first call, it also collects all the existing refs for excluding them from the scan. calculate_changed_submodule_paths() creates an argument array with all the collected new objects, followed by --not and all the old objects. This argv is passed to setup_revisions, which parses each argument, converts it back to an oid and resolves the object. The parsing itself also does redundant work, because it is treated like user input, while in fact it is a full oid. So it needlessly attempts to look it up as ref (checks if it has ^, ~ etc.), checks if it is a file name etc. For a repository with many refs, all of this is expensive. But if the fetch in the superproject did not update the ref (i.e. the objects that are required to exist in the submodule did not change), there is no need to include it in the list. Before commit be76c212 (fetch: ensure submodule objects fetched, 2018-12-06), submodule reference changes were only detected for refs that were changed, but not for new refs. This commit covered also this case, but what it did was to just include every ref. This change should reduce the number of scanned refs by about half (except the case of a no-op fetch, which will not scan any ref), because all the existing refs will still be listed after --not.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
