I have a directory which is the root of a directory tree containing in total some 200000 files. I have used the latest git on Windows 7:

  git-gui version: 0.16.GITGUI
  git version: 1.7.10.msygit.1

With the git gui I have created an archive in that directory, and then added all its contents with the aim to perform later a commit. The adding operation hung after having added some 2000 files. I had to kill the git gui with the task manager. I repeated the same operation with another directory containing some 160000 files, with a similar result. I thought git was meant to manage large projects.
