No. At least, not the first time that you cd into a reasonably large git tree after a boot (i.e., data isn't cached in memory yet). I've got a core 2 duo laptop w/this enabled, and the first time going into a kernel git tree, its a good bit of disk churn and a very noticeable wait before I get a prompt back. After that first hit though, its reasonably fast to return. > What's the worst thing that could happen if it were to break?

But I'd have to say no, don't just go enable it by default on people's systems. -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wilsonet.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
