I would guess it's because you've used "-S<space>--check"; the --check will be ignored as git-log doesn't use it, but the -S is saying "search for the empty string" in all log messages - that's probably a long list, and so takes a while to compile. > Is it really '-S--check'? Yep - it's "-S<string to search for>", so you'd be searching for the string "--check" in that example.
