But I'm surprised that the next "git status" are still slow. Other
people may get a better explanation, but this very much looks like a
bug.
Most likely, Andreas works with 1.7.1. From the release notes of 1.7.1.1:
* "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1.
Nice catch, and this explains why I couldn't reproduce with latest
Git.
More precisely, it was fixed here:
b2f6fd9 t7508: add a test for "git status" in a read-only repository
4bb6644 git status: refresh the index if possible
4c926b3 t7508: add test for "git status" refreshing the index
