The performance of git clone and branch switch operations using EGIT is very slow after normalisation for a git repository.
However, the performance is optimal when git clone and branch switch actions are performed via git bash or eclipse local terminal.

What do you mean by "after normalization" ?

There shouldn't be a huge difference in checkout performance between git and EGit.

Which EGit and Eclipse version are you using ?

What's the size of your repository ? You can run git-sizer [1] to get some size statistics for your repository.

We created a new .gitattributes file with the below content.
*.java text eol=crlf

*.arxml text eol=crlf
*.log text eol=crlf
*.xml text eol=crlf

after that we ran the below commands
$ git add . -u
$ git commit -m "Saving files before refreshing line endings"
$ git add --renormalize .
$ git status
$ git commit -m "Normalize all the line endings"
$ git push origin
later on we found that performance for git clone and branch switching was very slow on EGIT
