FWIW I can confirm the number "100min". Something I realized with pain is that the refs/ directory is 24MB big. Yep. Really. They have 3464 heads and 2639 tags. I suspect that this is the reason why.
Then packed refs would certainly help with speed and a bit with size. -- Jakub Narebski - 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
