git can I speed up committing?
- by AndreasT
I have a big repository in a shared folder.
I use git from within a VM on that folder.
Everything works nice, but the repository is big
and git's searching through all directories and files
when committing is slow.
I cannot move this repository out of the shared folder.
I tried to git add specific files and directories,
but when I do git commit -m "something" it still goes off onto
it's oddyssey through the directory tree.
Can I do commits that ignore the rest of the tree?
