If you still have the un-gc'd repo, Try these commands one by one, and time "git status" after each: - git pack-refs --all --prune - git reflog expire --all - git repack -d -l - git prune --expire - git rerere gc I'd be more interested in why auto-gc does not kick in (or whther it should). > - even with packed repo, the time on small subdirectory is much higher > than I'd expect given time on whole repo and subdirectory size - why? Hard to say without measuring. I just notice that I missed your mail with profiling results. I will have a look, but just in case, is the repository publicly available? -- Duy -- 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
