Subject: [PATCH] core.ignoreStat is affected by --assume-unchanged misunderstandings
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:48:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418341733-1656-1-git-send-email-philipoakley@iee.org> (raw)
A recent thread on the Msysgit mailing list
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/msysgit/d9CltDxx11g noted the
config core.ignoreStat flag as a solution to slow performance on
Windows 8.1 for their system.
This config flag uses the --assume-unchanged flag to speed up systems
with slow lstat(2) calls. Just like the regular --assume-changed
documentation, this need some tweaking to be clear that it is not a
"poor man's .gitignore".
