Hello,
I was recently working on a project with tens of thousands of generated
files. The generated directory was not intended to be tracked by git,
but I had forgotten to add it to .gitignore. When I tried to use
git-gui, it seemed to hang for about a minute. The problem is that
creating the icons in the "staged changes" and "unstaged changes"
windows is very slow. This data is redisplayed after several operations,
and the lag makes git-gui unusable.
Is this behavior worth changing? I doubt the scenario I encountered is a
common one. However, I have written a patch to display at most 5000
changed/new files, warning the user that the list has been truncated. If
this is a worthy change, I can submit the patch--I can also change it so
that the maximum number of displayed files is taken from git's
configuration.
Thanks
-Daniel
