If you want to use git source directly do a checkout from
https://github.com/git/git and build it. The core "benchmark" is make
test and timing it.

The way I'm doing it is via mmtests so

git clone https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests
cd mmtests
./run-mmtests --no-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_shellscripts test-run-1
cd work/log
../../compare-kernels.sh | less

and it'll generate a similar report to what I posted in this email
thread. If you do multiple tests with different kernels then change the
name of "test-run-1" to preserve the old data. compare-kernel.sh will
compare whatever results you have.

Thanks for taking a look.
