4) My idea is to eventually --assume-unchanged my whole repository, then write a cheesy daemon that uses the Win32 dnotify-equivalent to watch for files that get updated and then selectively --no-assume-unchanged files that it gets notified about. That would avoid the need to ever synchronously scan the whole repo for changes, thus making my git-Win32 experience much faster and more enjoyable. (This daemon ought to be possible to run on Linux as well, for similar improvements on gigantic repositories. Also note that TortoiseSVN for Windows does something similar to track file status updates, so this isn't *just* me being crazy.)
Looks like users on slow NFS would profit, too. Hate to say it, but hg feels faster on (slow) NFS than git. Yet I use git, for other reasons ;)
