Yup, as mentioned, even under the best case Windows scenario (freshly cloned repo) I'm still seeing `git status` latencies that are x2-3 times those of Linux machines. I don't hope to get Windows' git to be as fast as on Linux; at this point, just making it fast enough to be usable would be an achievement: I can't tell developers who just switched from a fast SVN setup to wait for 15s for `git status`, an operation they perform dozens of times per day (other operations, like stash, also take involve long, unworkable waits). .D -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
