Fixed an issue where the retry logic on
p_unlink
inposix_w32.c
sleeps before it tries setting a file to write mode causing unnecessary slowdown.This affects windows only.
The issue was introduced in this commit as the
do_with_retries
macro tries theunlink_once
routine and sleeps on failure before callingensure_writable
.This is particularly noticeable when staging large groups of files at once as staging creates a temporary git object that is set to read only. When this temporary git object is deleted via
p_unlink
it always ends up hitting the sleep causing a 5ms delay per file.I spoke with @ethomson on slack about this briefly.
