I have a large repository which I ran "git gc --aggressive" on that I'm trying to clone on a local file system. I would expect it to complete very quickly with hard links but it's taking about 6min to complete with no checkout (git clone -n). I see the message "Clining into 'repos'... done." appear after a few seconds but then Git just hangs there for another 6min. Any idea what it's doing at this point and how I can speed it up?
