I have a \"fresh\" git-svn repo (11.13 GB) that has over a 100,000 objects in it.

I have preformed

git fsck
git gc

on the repo afte

Answer 1

In general my mac is ok with git but if there are a lot of loose objects then it gets very much slower. It seems hfs is not so good with lots of files in a single directory.

git repack -ad

Followed by

git gc --prune=now

Will make a single pack file and remove any loose objects left over. It can take some time to run these.
