Hi, Joakim Tjernlund reported in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281009 that Emacs started in a Git tree is really slow. This does not happen with other SCM systems and we were able to reproduce the problem and narrowing it down to /usr/bin/git diff-index -z HEAD -- Makefile, called in vc-git-state. Any possibilities to improve performance here? Joakim is cced, so you can ask him directly. V-Li -- Christian Faulhammer, Gentoo Lisp project , #gentoo-lisp on FreeNode
