Subject: git branch performance problem?
Message-ID: <f329bf540710101322xdea6210x5576779f2efd89b7@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm seeing very slow performance with 'git-branch'.  Is this the
canonical way to find out the current branch? ( I know I can look into
.git/HEAD, but how likely is that to break in the future?)

hanwen@lilypond:/tmp/z$ time git branch
* foo
  master

real    0m0.307s
user    0m0.232s
sys     0m0.038s

hanwen@lilypond:/tmp/z$ git --version
git version 1.5.1.rc1.949.g322bc


On NFS this takes 5 seconds. Note that I have a humongous amount of
remotes, but those should not be examined without -r, right?

hanwen@lilypond:/tmp/z$ find .git/refs/remotes | wc -l
1856
