Re: Inexplicably deteriorating performance of Git repositories on Windows

Hey,

We have a bunch of Windows users, unfortunately, and they're using the
latest msysGit release (Git-1.7.3.1-preview20101002).

An interesting issue we've noticed is that the Time To Complete of
their common operations start deteriorating inexplicably, and
severely, some time after the clone.

For instance, immediately after a clone, `git status` takes about
5-6s. Which is slow compared to Linux (consistent 1-2s), but still
usable (it's a BIG repo).

However, after a reboot (of all things), `git status` latency
skyrockets to 14-15s, making the repo unusable.

Does assume-unchanged bit (see "git update-index") help? I'm not
suggesting to use it but it would help determine if the slowdown is
worktree-related.
