If they are loose, does packing them resolve the issue? Are you using network-mounted or local storage? What does the .git/config file look like for a user where git status is excruciatingly slow? Does copying the config file from a windows user to a linux user make timings somewhat consistent between various systems? Do older version of git perform as poorly? How is the repository laid out (ie, are there any directories with a ton of files in, or are they spread across multiple directories)? How many .gitignore files are you using, and what do they look like? > However, after a reboot (of all things), `git status` latency > skyrockets to 14-15s, making the repo unusable. > That's just plain weird, and is almost certainly a system issue. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- 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
