Hi all,

With the network plugged in, git-commit takes 8 seconds.

When I unplug the network, commit is instant...

I confirmed this with a fresh test directory, just adding an extra line to the file "test" for each commit:

> git init

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/gitexpt/.git/

> vi test
> git add *

> date; git commit -a -m "add minor change"; date

Created commit 9b845a2: add minor change
 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

> date; git commit -a -m "add test, without network"; date

Mon Nov  3 00:46:00 EST 2008
Created commit dd02a69: add test, without network
 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

> git --version

git version 1.5.6.3

Anyone know why is git-commit so slow? Or if there I can anything to change this?

I'd assumed the slowness was normal, since I'm new to version control. I've googled and searched mailing lists, but haven't found this. Could be just my installation (or others make the same assumption?)

Many thanks for any help... I'm going a little crazy here.
