This would imply that the other way to get faster commits is to specify your filenames explicitly, instead of using the default of "any changed item under the current directory". If this rather dramatic speed difference between 'status' and 'commit' is really a common case, it's probably worth reimplementing 'commit' in terms of the same thing 'status' does. But I'm not deep enough in the wcng code to know if that's a reasonable course. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
