I have another issue. I'm using 'magit' (in emacs) to drive git. But it gives half-minute delays to do anything at all. There are lots of people complaining about it (googlable) but no solutions I can see. Do I have to give up magit?
I've read about it too, but I don't remember seeing any solutions. I don't use magit nor emacs, but I have two ideas: a) Try `mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs` (through pacman) with `mingw-w64-x86_64-git` (download[2] or through pacman[1]). This should work around any performance issues coming from the POSIX emulation layer. The downside is that I have no idea whether this combination works well currently (or at all). b) `git config core.fscache true`. I'm not sure if this option is supported under Cygwin.
