After a 'git merge' in msysgit some stat information of the index

Is this a know issue? Do other experience the same?
Yes, it is. The real issue is that the index is out of date, and
the full
speed of git is not available until a refresh (which you can have
with a
"git status", too).
There are people who want to change the behaviour, and hide the
empty diff
output, preventing the user from ever knowing why git is so slow.
So just run a "git status" and continue.
Could we add 'git update-index --refresh' after a successful merge,
or would it slow things down. I'm not that much concerned about
the empty diff, but if I start gitk it also finds local changes,
which are not real, and this is always a bit distracting.
