FYI, to use the specific commit from a different branch, in this case, add the following lines after cd $_pkgname inside prepare()
git remote add vanvugt <https://gitlab.gnome.org/vanvugt/mutter.git> || true
git fetch vanvugt
git cherry-pick c432f134
remove the < > from the .git url, it is auto added and I don't know why
I think you've noticed that revert.patch causes some weird timing issues, i.e. window maximize animation stutter, moving mouse pointer causes stutter in opengl etc. Try this patch. Coupled with revert.patch, it completely fixes all all performance problems for me.
(I think Debian uses it already, and Bionic too)
P.S. Beware, it causes high cpu load when moving mouse pointer around the screen, when coupled with revert.patch. At least it fixes jerkyness.
@m3thodic there were some code changes to mutter which are under review / not upstreamed. The code changes aim to improve performance, reduce memory use and reduce stutters. However, they are not proven to work and they are made for gnome 3.26.x/3.28.1, which may not be compatible with 3.28.2. TLDR ignore them
@Saren Could you please give a quick tl;dr on what you mean by performance bits? Thanks for the package!
Fantastic, thank you!
Maybe its good idea to bump commit to atleast 8286557a0555058440536e88393fda445d49d399
Updated to 3.28. revert.patch is back and I updated the code surrounding to the patch. Luckily it works. Also added dependency for 'gnome-shell>=3.28' 'gnome-shell<3.29' to prevent future GNOME breakage like I had.
Maybe temporarily but returned to patch instead git revert.

If you have a problem during any system update with
mutter-performance&gnome-shell-performance, please installmutter&gnome-shellpackages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable
The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".
Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.
To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

If you are getting errors like
fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32'while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.Please notify me in comment section if this happens.
The optional performance patches are by default enabled.
