When reading references via `files_read_raw_ref()` we always consult
both the loose reference, and if that wasn't found, we also consult the
packed-refs file. While this makes sense to read a generic reference, it
is wasteful in the case where we only care about symbolic references:
the packed-refs backend does not support them, and thus it cannot ever
return one for us.
Special-case reading of symbolic references for the files backend such
that we always skip asking the packed-refs backend.
We use `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` extensively to determine whether we
need to skip updating local symbolic references during a fetch, which is
why the change results in a significant speedup when doing fetches in
repositories with huge numbers of references. The following benchmark
executes a mirror-fetch in a repository with about 2 million references
via `git fetch --prune --no-write-fetch-head +refs/*:refs/*`:
Benchmark 1: HEAD~
Time (mean ± σ): 68.372 s ± 2.344 s [User: 65.629 s, System: 8.786 s]
Range (min … max): 65.745 s … 70.246 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 60.259 s ± 0.343 s [User: 61.019 s, System: 7.245 s]
Range (min … max): 60.003 s … 60.649 s 3 runs
Summary
'HEAD' ran
1.13 ± 0.04 times faster than 'HEAD~'
