No.

Unfortunately not. The only information I have is that it contains gazillions of files and that most of that time was spent in figuring out whether the files contain CR/LF, LF, or both.

I hope to get back to some performance benchmarking soon. I have some experimental code to generate Git repositories of a specific size, and I hope to be able to replicate the issues with that infrastructure.

Should be fun.

Ciao, Dscho
