I tried a clone and pull both with the noacl and without the noacl. In
my experiment without the noacl it was much faster when doing pulls
after someone else checked in changes. I located on the web a
reference to noacl being slow when doing a stat under cygwin and
figured if I prevent reading each file it might be faster so I went to
my noacl directory and did a pull of their changes after adding the
cygexec flag after the noacl flag. Instead of being tens of minutes
it was just a bit over a minute and a half. Although the repository
is on a NFS drive the local file system is NTFS and I see it spending
lots of time doing the update on the merge even though it is just a
couple of files that have changed. I'm still trying to figure out
what exactly is going on and how best to deal with the permissioning
issue that we are now experiencing. After discussions we would rather
have it slow then have bad permission problems but I'd rather not have
either issue.
If I leave off the noacl and do a clone followed by a push and pull we
end up with the following error in the Windows security tab:
The permissions on file.cpp are incorrectly ordered, which may cause
some entries to be ineffective.
It also leaves the permissions looking like this
