On my recent MacBook Pro, I gave up after reflog expire --all
had chewed up 30 minutes of perfectly fine CPU time.
Basically, I have a SVN import of a single branch of a repository
with just a single directory with 3K files or so (this SVN import
is part of a bigger repository). There are about 117K commits
in the GIT history. I have a few local branches of just a couple
commits each. The total .git size is 450MB, with about 3K loose
objects.
This seems something that should be "git gc"-ed in about a
minute or less, so I'm puzzled what is going on in this
git reflog expire. From a cursory look it seems that
we're in a loop finding a merge base for each commit, or
similar. I'm including a log of a random interruption
(using Ubuntu here instead of MacOS for better debugging).
