Measure the time taken to apply the FSMonitor query result to the index and the untracked-cache. Set the `FSMONITOR_CHANGED` bit on `istate->cache_changed` when FSMonitor returns a very large repsonse to ensure that the index is written to disk. Normally, when the FSMonitor response includes a tracked file, the index is always updated. Similarly, the index might be updated when the response alters the untracked-cache (when enabled). However, in cases where neither of those cause the index to be considered changed, the FSMonitor response is wasted. Subsequent Git commands will make requests with the same token and receive the same response. If that response is very large, performance may suffer. It would be more efficient to force update the index now (and the token in the index extension) in order to reduce the size of the response received by future commands. This was observed on Windows after a large checkout. On Windows, the kernel emits events for the files that are changed as they are changed. However, it might delay events for the containing directories until the system is more idle (or someone scans the directory (so it seems)). The first status following a checkout would get the list of files. The subsequent status commands would get the list of directories as the events trickled out. But they would never catch up because the token was not advanced because the index wasn't updated. This list of directories caused `wt_status_collect_untracked()` to unnecessarily spend time actually scanning them during each command.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
