Well then...I've cloned myself @gmail, I hope this is better.

Just some provoking thoughts...(if I may):

RFC-5322 recommends wrapping lines at 78, and mail relays and gateways are allowed to change message content according to the capabilities of the receiver (RFC-5598). In essence, plaintext mail is completely unsuitable for preformatted text such as source code.

On the other hand, git tries to solve the very problem of distributed source code management, and consistency by strong sha-1 checksums is on the top of the feature list.

It is somehow hard to believe that contributing to git itself should only be possible using the most unreliable of protocols. Don't you trust your own software?

Subject: [PATCH] update-index/diff-index: use core.preloadindex to improve performance

'update-index --refresh' and 'diff-index' (without --cached) don't honor
the core.preloadindex setting yet. Porcelain commands using these (such as
git [svn] rebase) suffer from this, especially on Windows.

Use read_cache_preload to improve performance.

Additionally, in builtin/diff.c, don't preload index status if we don't
access the working copy (--cached).

Results with msysgit on WebKit repo (2GB in 200k files):

                | update-index | diff-index | rebase
----------------+--------------+------------+---------
msysgit-v1.8.0  |       9.157s |    10.536s | 42.791s
+ preloadindex  |       9.157s |    10.536s | 28.725s
+ this patch    |       2.329s |     2.752s | 15.152s
+ fscache [1]   |       0.731s |     1.171s |  8.877s
