Hey all, I'm a magit user... most especially I use magit for managing mediagoblin hacking stuff. I really love it, and for a long time, I did almost all "checking what branches still have activity" via magit-wazzap.
But then mediagoblin got bigger and bigger and my branch list got longer and longer (315 branches!) and magit-wazzap is now just too slow to reload comfortably. I just discovered the undocumented feature of "ignore"ing branches in magit-wazzap with "i". This is really great and works really well, though it seems like things are still pretty slow. I have this suspicion that the reason for this is because git is still iterating through all the other 300 branches that are merged but otherwise idle. I have two thoughts: - I'm assuming a patch mentioning the "ignore" feature to the magit docs is welcome? - I wonder if I should create a mode somehow that allows me to look at all old branches that *wouldn't* show up in magit-wazzap and bulk mark them as ignore. Would that be useful to anyone else? Is there a better way to do this? Looking forward to any thoughts! - Chris
