***Update**: after rebasing on top of
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16915/ (that also changed how
search worked), the results are still good, but not 10x. Instead of
going from 10s to 500ms, it goes from 10s to 3s.*
This improves the performance of project-wide search by an order of
magnitude.
After digging in, @as-cii and I found that opening buffers was the
bottleneck for project-wide search (since Zed opens, parses, ... buffers
when finding them, which is something VS Code doesn't do, for example).
So this PR improves the performance of opening multiple buffers at once.
It does this by doing two things:
- It batches scan-requests in the worktree. When we search, we search
files in chunks of 64. Previously we'd handle all 64 scan requests
separately. The new code checks if the scan requests can be batched and
if so it, it does that.
- It batches `git status` calls when reloading the project entries for
the opened buffers. Instead of calling `git status` for each file, it
calls `git status` for a batch of files, and then extracts the status
for each file.
(It has to be said that I think the slow performance on `main` has been
a regression introduced over the last few months with the changes made
to project/worktree/git. I don't think it was this slow ~5 months ago.
But I also don't think it was this fast ~5 months ago.)

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
