Subject: git hangs with --separate-git-dir
Date: Tue, 16 May 2023 17:54:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BY5PR14MB36544D63ECEAB9954C14407FA5799@BY5PR14MB3654.namprd14.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Windows 10 PC
large project
300GB
500,000 files
mix of binary and text assets.
cd /d D:\myproject
git init --separate-git-dir=F:\myproject.git
git add *
Git runs for a little while then hangs and does some really bad things to the OS as well.
it seems impossible to kill git.exe even with administrator priviledges.
f: drive ends up locked and any other process, such as explorer that try to look at it also hang
you cannot log out without hanging
or even restart
This then requires a hard power cycle to fix.
100% reproducable.
running git init without --separate-git-dir and git add * works fine (takes 3 hours,.. but works)
then I can move the .git dir to f: and reinit with --separate-git-dir and that works.
So this seems to only be a problem for the initial init.
