The Azure team responsible for the Local Git implementation needs to read this fantastic article. I've been putting up with 10-minute deploys due to precisely this issue of counting objects. It's slow because we don't use Local Git as our source-of-record repository (because commits initiate a deployment step), so every deploy involves a clean fetch into a new tmpdir. At least now I know why our deploys are getting slower and slower.
