Most of the time is spent in running the SVN interoperability tests, though, which are not really all that interesting for most uses of git. The Makefile says this: # Define NO_SVN_TESTS if you want to skip time-consuming SVN interoperability # tests. These tests take up a significant amount of the total test time # but are not needed unless you plan to talk to SVN repos. What do you think about disabling the SVN tests in the git package? -- Ricardo
