Hi All, We are using git-1.8.2 version for version control. It is an centralized server and git status takes too long How to improve the performance of git status Git repo details: Size of the .git folder is 8.9MB Number of commits approx 53838 (git rev-list HEAD --count) Number of branches - 330 Number of files - 63883 Working tree clone size is 4.3GB time git status shows real 0m23.673s user 0m9.432s sys 0m3.793s then after 5 mins real 0m4.864s user 0m1.417s sys 0m4.710s And I have experimented the following ways - - Setting core.ignorestat to true - - Git gc &git clean - - Shallow clone – Reducing number of commits - - Clone only one branch - Git repacking - git repack -ad && git prune - - Cold/warm cache Could you please let me know, what are the ways to improve the git performance ? I have gone through the mailing lists.
