There is not actually any migration being performed.

My best guess is that your repository's shape might have been suboptimal,
and that a warm cache helped.

If this is the case, you might want to register regular Git maintenance on
it, so that future Git GUI starts won't be so slow as to appear to hang:
`git maintenance start`.

You already did: the Git mailing list ;-)
