Hi, I didn't really notice when it happened, but since some time push and pull takes *very* long. git-pack-objects appears to be the major offender: $ git pull ../src march:march Generating pack... Done counting 20238 objects. Result has 12 objects. Deltifying 12 objects. 8% (1/12) done It's still working, half an hour since it was started. It can be seen that it is constantly growing and shrinking (for about 20k,50k,80k,100k back and forth). I did a small instrumentation to figure out how much and how often is allocated, but it's waiting for the git-pack-objects to finish. "Counting objects" was slow too, with git-rev-list "pulsating" in a similar way (most commonly allocated objects in the size range from 16 to 256). I continue looking for the problem (I didn't do bisect yet, want to wait for mem profile first), but any ideas on how to fix that are very welcome. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
