I see slowdown, but not nearly as big as you report: $ git checkout -b v4.18-cherry-pick v4.18 $ time git cherry-pick 463fa44eec2fef50 Auto-merging drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c warning: inexact rename detection was skipped due to too many files. warning: you may want to set your merge.renamelimit variable to at least 7216 and retry the command.
