Fetching history for a file VERY slow using libgit2sharp

I am attempting to use libgit2sharp to get the list of commits for a specific file in a repository. The code works, but it is VERY slow. How can I get git command line like performance from libgit2sharp?

Reproduction steps

Run the following code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using LibGit2Sharp;

namespace GitHistoryTime
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length < 2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Format is GitHistoryTime ");
}
else
{
string repoName = args[0];
string fileName = args[1];
Stopwatch stopwatch = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew();
Repository repo = new Repository(repoName);
if (repo == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Could not find git repository for " + repoName);
}
else
{
CommitFilter filter = new CommitFilter
{
SortBy = CommitSortStrategies.Topological
};
IEnumerable log = repo.Commits.QueryBy(fileName, filter);
if (log != null)
{
foreach (LogEntry entry in log)
{
Console.WriteLine(entry.Commit.Sha);
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Time to get the log: {0}", stopwatch.Elapsed.ToString());
}
}
}
}
}

Expected behavior

I would expect to get times similar to doing git --no-pager log --fileName. On my system, git took 0.43 seconds to return the full history

Actual behavior

On my machine, the above code took 6 minutes and 45 seconds! That is roughly 800 times slower than the git command line.

Due to the comments in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/4428, I first tried to use a sort strategy of None, but LibGit2Sharp threw an exception that None was not valid. Why?

Inizia con la riproduzione in C# usando Repository.Commits.QueryBy(fileName, filter) e la relativa impostazione CommitFilter.SortBy, quindi confrontala con il tempo riportato per git --no-pager log. Analizza il divario di prestazioni e il motivo per cui SortBy = None viene rifiutato, usando come contesto la issue correlata di libgit2, la 4428. Il lavoro è completato quando sono state stabilite la causa e una risoluzione attuabile per le prestazioni della cronologia dei file.
