You can do: GIT_TRACE=1;git status As I said earlier, you should try a version of Git which is not a release-candidate. You should also see how it performs on some different repositories: * Try another repository which is a bit smaller, both in number of files, size and number of revisions * Initialise your source tree as a new repo with no history, and see if it suffers the same performance problems Oh, another thing: What sort of hard-drive and file-system do you have?
