Hi, I have a git repo with about 300k commits, 150k files totaling maybe 7GB. Locally committing a small change - say touching fewer than 300 bytes across 4 files - consistently takes over one second, which seems kinda slow. This is using git 1.7.7.4 on a linux 2.6 box. The time does not improve after doing a git-gc (my .git dir has maybe 250 files after a git gc). The same size commit on a brand new repo takes< 10ms. Any thoughts on why committing a small change seems to take a long time on larger repos? Fwiw, I also tried doing the same test using libgit2 (via the pygit2 wrapper), and it was ever slower (about 6 seconds to commit the same small change).
