Haiku uses Trac to run our bug tracker and developer wiki. One of the integrations of Trac is with a version control system, git. The default git plugin of Trac is too slow to work on a repository of our size. There is a replacement plugin available, called Trac-Pygit2. 

Requirements:

• You have to be comfortable using the command line
• You know how to use python
• You know how to install python packages
• You know how to use git to clone a repository

You will need to prepare the following:

• Create a virtual python environment that you are going to use to install Trac
• Set up a Trac instance and use the supplied tracd script to serve it locally
• Install the Trac-Pygit2 package.
• Make a clone of the haiku repository.
• Set up the haiku repository with trac-pygit2

Then make a report of what you find. Try the following:

• Switch between branches
• Look at the individual file history
• Use the blame feature
• Look at the history of various folders
• Browse the repository at commit b3b9b0c6d797eb0b4a62f56247da7107399ca8b2

For each of those operations, document the following:

• A screenshot
• The time it took to load the page
• Whether or not the operation speeded up if you loaded it again (to account for caching)
• Whether you think it is fast enough

Also document any particularities you found during the process.
