The scalabilty issue comes due to the symlink usage of git annex. Modern fs are not yet made to be that fast for > 100k of symlinks.
A rm -rf .git of any !annexed git repo is blasing fast, but due to the symlink mess that git annex uses the same cmd takes hours on the same repo if git annex is used. This is on a modern ext4. The suggestion is thus to enhance annex file format not to rely on symlinks. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
