Hi, I tried cloning a local repository when connected over a slow (1 second+ latency) link. It took forever (I gave up after 10 minutes). If I ran it in the background it took a few seconds. I think the ticker is over anxious. # git clone -l linux-2.6 linux-2.6-test 0 blocks Checking files out... 5% (1060/19552) done <---- performance bottleneck Anton - : 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
