Git is built for Linux and relies on some features of Linux filesystems for speed. As long as underlying filesystem is NTFS, there's no way to speed up Git.
Although, the "Support NTFS native hardlinks and emulated symbolic links" could be relevant if it does some magic there.
- eps 12y ago> Git [...] relies on some features of Linux filesystems for speed. Modern NTFS versions support all the things that git needs, so it has less to do with having magical features in Linux filesystems per se and more with the fact that they aren't properly mapped onto respective NTFS features in the abstraction layer (MSYS or similar).
- ygra 12y agoI wondered about the emulated symlinks here, though. NTFS supports symlinks just fine or maybe I'm not aware of a crucial difference in how they work in NTFS and Linux filesystems.
