It is possible to place a .gitignore file in each directory, and Git will respect this. Therefore it checks every folder for this file, but I doubt that's what is causing your performance problems.
Can you please describe the size, number of files, and what kinds of files there are in your repository? What is your Git version, and operating system? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
