Hi,

it would be nice to have an option to have a .git.tar instead of the .git directory tree. This tree quickly gets very big and copy and compare actions take very long. I've observed that even in small projects with only a few files the .git tree can contain several thousand entries. Especially when projects are saved on shares copy and compare actions are getting very slow. Is such a feature already planned or is there a chance to have such a feature in the near future?

Best regards,
Martin
