Re: Debugging git-commit slowness on a large repo

As a bonus, I've also profiled git-add on the 1-million file repo, and it
looks like, as you might expect, the time is dominated by reading and
writing the index.  The time for git-add is a couple of seconds.

Note that the time to write the index itself is also rather small, but
the time needed to sha1 the index when loading and then again when
saving it really hurts.

(I noticed this while working on the commit-tree topic.)
