hi in windows using git GUI when i tried to do git add for 200,000 files (18GB) it took about 5hr is that normal after which i got the below error?
Updating the Git index failed. A rescan will be automatically started to resynchronize git-gui. with lots of this warning warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in I clicked on Continue. will it be ok?
