Ah, why didn't you say so earlier? NFS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System>is no local filesystem, as it's accessed over the network. No wonder it's slow as hell.. You need to create a partition or something on a local disk where you can do your work. If your organization can't provide you with a local hard-drive, well, then you've got bigger problems than Git :) More discussion and background here: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2008/11/13/4087174/thread and here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/122644 Possible workaround: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2211003/how-to-have-git-repository-in-nfs-partition-and-working-tree-in-local-partition Another workaround: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4994772/ways-to-improve-git-status-performance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
