I noticed that "git gc --agressive" takes 5 times longer with git-1.6.4.4 than with git-1.6.2.5. Below are benchmarks on my Linux Ubuntu-9.04 laptop (Core2 Duo 2.54GHz). As a test repo I use a mirror of the official GIT upstream. GIT-v1.6.4.4 ----------------- git.upstream> time git gc --agressive Counting objects: 105217, done.
