Re: Performance issue of 'git branch'

So I would like to ask what should I do to recover the missing files
in .git/refs/heads/ (which apparently is the cause for my issue) and
how I can avoid losing them in the first place.

have a look at .git/packed-refs and 'git pack-refs'.

Yes, now I learned that the files were not really missing
as in "there is something wrong".

I will also start to use 'git pack-refs --prune' from time to time
now, in adition to 'git gc --prune' and 'git repack -d -a'.

But the takes-too-long 'git branch' issue is apparently caused
by something else.

Thanks Gábor,
Carlos
