Hello Git Team, do you have any recommendations how exclusions must be set in an anti virus software what directories etc.? when AV is running the re-base is slower than it should be. Thanks for any Idea, Regards Roman

If you are talking about a Git for Windows installed into C:\Program Files (or even C:\Program Files (x86)), it is safe to exclude that location (after an initial scan, of course) because Git for Windows itself does not even have write permissions to that location.

Ciao, Johannes
