C-x v g on a git file is very slow, compare this: $ time git --no-pager blame -- vc-annotate.el 1>/dev/null real 0m1.432s user 0m1.364s sys 0m0.063s $ time git --no-pager blame -C -C -- vc-annotate.el 1>/dev/null real 0m23.477s user 0m22.058s sys 0m1.405s It seems the -C -C options would slow down git hugely, making this command almost useless. Can we remove it from default option list? -William git version 1.9.3 In GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin13.1.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.19) of 2014-04-16 on tokyolove.local Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1265 Configured using: `configure --with-ns CC=clang' Configured features: ACL GNUTLS LIBXML2 ZLIB Important settings: locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix
