That certainly is better, if one can assume that git's configuration is
small. (And relative to the memory usage of the script, it will
definetly be small).

I shall give that a go, although the change won't make it even faster -
I suspect that much of the performance penalty in windows is the
pathetic fork() performance, particularly as the memory usage of the
script increases. (If subprocess does fork() and exec() in order to open
another process, in cygwin).

Thankyou.
