Populating commit dialog takes 8 seconds for an empty repository
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Open the commit dialog for a repository via Windows Explorer
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I can see the "Please wait" message. It takes 8 seconds for a empty repository to show the "No files were changed or added..." message (20-25 seconds for a repository with 2300 files).
This has been much faster with previous versions. Unfortunately, I don't recall those version numbers. Seems to have gotten worse with the recent "Git for Windows". Also recently updated to Windows 10 1809.
What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system?
TortoiseGit 2.7.0.0
Git for Windows 2.19.1
Windows 10 1809
Please provide any additional information below.
I searched for existing issues. #3087 (closed) probably won't be reponsible as I have a newer Windows version.
I can see that TortoiseGitProc.exe is starting git.exe which in turn starts another git.exe and conhost.exe. The latter processes are killed and started again. Happening twice for an empty repository and multiple times with another repository.
