            Are you sure you want to change the base?
            Some commits from the old base branch may be removed from the timeline,
            and old review comments may become outdated.

It's just a memoization so we don't do this concatenation on every resolution, the concatenation creates an object that is short lived, creating work for the garbage collector. By creating the concatenated string once, storing it and reusing it we save the memory overhead of creating many times the same temporary objects.

If the aliasing object gets truly large, it'd be worth investing in adding a dependency on a prefix-tree implementation that can handle the optional
*component in the path, and use that to optimize the matching logic.There was a problem hiding this comment.

To avoid shape changes it would be best to have
this.optionsconsist of fresh objects that have all required properties.
