Commit takes too long time [message #667791]

I have a project with about 20000 files.

When i do a commit, i stay stuck on the "calulating changes in selected repositories" window fore more than 5 minutes before having the comit panel where i can check the file i want in my commit.

Even if i select the directory where my modified files are before Commit, Egit scan the whole 20000 files ...

I try to make a "assume unmodifed" on some big directories where files are never modified, but it dosen't seems to speed up the commit ...

do i forget some thing ? have anyone an idea to speed up my commits ?

thank's

- Which EGit version are you using on which platform ?
- I tried on Mac OSX on 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 using EGit 0.12 with linux kernel repo (>30k files) and EGit takes 2-3 sec to bring up the commit dialog, so something must be different in your case
- is this a public repo ?
- does the repo contain a lot of large files ?

Such a slow commit is a bug. It will always check all your files, but
it shouldn't take more than a few seconds unless you actually changed
a very large number of files.

0.11 was very slow. Try a recent build and you should find it much faster.

With the 0.12.1 this is much faster yes.

But it always takes about 1 minute and an half.

Thanks

I come back on this old topic, because it still disturb me and my work... i found that too long to commit on big projects.

But i found a workaround with use of GIT GUI. (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/)

When i open my repository with GIT GUI, it propose me to compress the repository. I accept, compressing take few minutes, then when i come back in Eclipse, commit with Egit takes seconds when it was taking minutes...

Why doesn't Egit make this compression ?
