In 2012 there was a thread about git's performance on large repositories. One archive of the discussion begins here: http://mid.gmane.org/CB5074CF.3AD7A%25joshua.redstone%40fb.com

> million files.

I'm not sure to what extent git performance may have changed since then, e.g., by improving the index format.
