No, I only have the CVS one handy. But I've tried it on other things that have lots of lines, and yes it's slow. See the "slow output" bugs/threads, they have been partially motivated by this. > We could provide a numeric prefix argument for vc print logs > to limit the number of commits to show. I mean translating it > to the git command like "git-log -2". Yes, I have considered limiting the size of the log output, it needs to apply not only to the root log, but also to C-x v l. But I don't know what the best thing to do here... :-(
