slow process of post-receive script on a remote (samba) share

[Tamas Csabina <tcsabina@gmail.com>]

Dear list,

I am using Git bash from version 1.8.3.msysgit.0, on a Windows 7x64 PC.
I have an issue with executing git push if I have a post-receive
script configured.
The content of the script is not really important, as if I have a
script that contains only commented out lines (around 70 lines), my
git push command is delayed with around 5 seconds.


I`ve tested the script on another PC and it is working fine. No delay
at all. So there are some issues on my PC regarding how git processes
remote scripts.

I took a wireshark trace with 2 scenarios on my PC:

 1. just execute `cat <path_to_the_script>\post-receive` command in the git bash
 2. did a `real` git push

Results of the wireshark traces shows:

 1. Read AndX Request, FID: 0x228f, 1024 bytes at offset 0 (1024 bytes
at time, always)
 2. Read AndX Request, FID: 0x21c9, 1 byte at offset 0 (1 byte, always)

Conclusion:
git push command reads the post-receive script in 1 byte chunks, which
dramatically slows down the execution process.


If more information is required about my setup or configuration, I
will provided it happily, but I think this 1 byte read is the main
reason for the issue.

Has anyone seen something similar? Or have any clues what is going on?


Thanks,
tamas
