While I was profiling the loading time of softwaremill/sttp build, I noticed that
sbt-git
takes about half of the CPU time. Indeed it seems thatgit.describedVersion
is quite expensive as it needs to unpack Git object directories. The problem is this operation is repeated too many times: once for each sub-project of the build (~200 projects in the case of sttp).This PR eliminates the redundant calls to
describedVersion
: if the input settings of theThisProject
andThisBuild
are the same, the project reusesThisBuild / gitDescribedVersion
instead of recomputing it.On softwaremill/sttp it reduces the loading time by 45% (12 seconds instead of 22).
