Interesting. We currently have similar performance issues when pushing=20
to a Git repo hosted on Gerrit. The only difference of our repo compare=
d=20
to others on the same server that do not have any performance issues is=
=20
the large number of refs (about 40k) in refs/changes.

I still wonder why that would slow down a push as we have not configure=
d=20
our clients to fetch / push refs/changes.

--=20
