Ok, that means I don't have to check out git-lfs, git-fat or git-bigstore. My annex is 250k symlinks pointing to 250 GiB of data. It's slow enough as it is.

- joeyh 12y agoAt 250k files in one branch, you are starting to run into other scalability limits in git too, like the innefficient method it uses to update .git/index (rewriting the whole thing).
- bicolao 12y agoThere is the new "split-index" mode to avoid this (see "git update-index" man page). The base index will contains 250k files but .git/index only contains entries you update, should be a lot fewer than 250k files.
- weakish 11y agoIt seems that `--split-index` is only available at 'update-index'. Can it be used with `add` or via `git config`?
