Based on a previous thread “First Git status takes 40+ minutes, when mounting fileystem/diskimage with 50G GIT repo + 900G of builds articles” The context is that 1. git wokspace was clone(50G) 2. some 30 platorms build(900G) 3. This tree was then copied into a new diskimage/filesystem + git update-index --refresh" was done to update the index to the new filesystem, then frozen. 4. New workspaces created by cloning this frozen diskimage(< 30 seconds) 5. This diskimage was mounted on a new machine 6. A file was modified and "git add/commit" was done I have done “git update-index –refresh”, in the mounted filesystem, as above This has improved “git status/diff” timing from 40+ minutes to 1.5 minutes for the first time and <5 seconds for subsequent calls. But "git commit -m "dummy commit" of a 1 line change in 1 file takes about 5-6 minutes, everytime in this workspace. Tracing shows a whole bunch. The entire 5-6 minutes worth of the following sort of trace logs. 3:13:50.320930 trace git-lfs: filepathfilter: rejecting "x/y/z.o.command" via [] 13:13:50.320940 trace git-lfs: filepathfilter: accepting " x/y/z.o.command " 13:13:50.320862 trace git-lfs: filepathfilter: rejecting "a/b/c/d.o.command" via [] 13:13:50.320972 trace git-lfs: filepathfilter: accepting " a/b/c/d..o.command" Does anyone have any insights on what could be causing this? On the other hand, if I had Thanks, Sarvi Occam’s Razor Rules
