The project is a Linux from Scratch repository that includes source codes to approximately 2000 open source projects, gcc tool-chain, 1000+ configurations for different software packages, source code for different kernel versions, and many linux distributions/flavors resulted from this LFS build environment. The git's object repository is now 4.6 gigs and consists of approx. 610,000 files and folders. The speed of git is now terribly slow. Each time I use basic commands like 'git status' or 'git diff', it would take at least 5 minutes for git to give me back a result. Again, the machine that i run git on is a P4 3.2 gig-hertz with HT. would someone please recommend on how i can optimize git's performance? Git is so slow, are there better ways to manage a project like this? Thank you. Toan
