Reduce the number of files. For example split the repository into two one for documentation and one for source. Thats what I did with a converted repository that had to many files. Windows is unfortunately very slow when it comes to handling many files and if I recall correctly ~30000 files was in a nicely handleable range for a Git repository on Windows, but that might have changed...
