Subject: Git has bad performance when traversing change-sets with large PPM files
Message-ID: <dfb660301002191324i7aeca7f5x990501bbca1475a9@mail.gmail.com>

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new git repo and add a 640x480 PPM image in ASCII format
2. Add a .gitattributes file with the line "*.ppm binary"
3. Commit the PPM file
4. Change the PPM image's contents
5. Add and commit
6. Try to do a git rebase -i to the initial commit
7. Watch the CPU peg at 100%

I'm using git version 1.6.3.3

Please CC me, I'm not on the list.

Thanks,
