Re: [ptp-user] git and git-upload-pack over and over...

The initial sync can take awhile because it downloads all of the remote files.
Without more detail, it's hard to say what is causing the delay in your case.
(Multiple git commands are necessary due to limits on the length of a single
command.)

On the last page of the new project wizard, you can modify the file filtering
to exclude large files not needed for development, such as binaries or other
non-source files. Unfortunately, these modifications aren't applied during the
first sync. I just filed a bug on this:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=373413

This should be fixed by the next release.

In the meantime, I would recommend cleaning the remote directory prior to
creating a synchronized project so that it is free of build files and other
large files that would take a long time to download. After project creation,
sync will only transfer file changes, and you can adjust the file filtering or
even disable automatic sync'ing. Both of these are available from the context
menu.

So, I'm sitting here for the last 45 minute to an hour waiting for my large
project (about 3000 files) to initially synch and I'm watching the Linux
top command on the remote machine running git, and git-upload-pack over and
over again. On my Eclipse Progress view I see Remote Synchronization and
Receiving objects: 97% (2833/2920) forever. So in general, can someone tell
me what it's doing? Just curious, and what sort of tuning we can do to
boost its performance?
