To me, it seems the opposite ;-). I just tried to "git init" my $HOME, then "git status" takes forever, but "echo '*' > .gitignore; git status" completes immediately. So, an option is to put "*" in your .gitignore, and then "git add -f" files explicitely, or to work your .gitignore finer. -- Matthieu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
