Hi all
I find that vc-git takes quite a lot of time to load, both in Emacs 23
and Emacs snapshot. On my dev machine it takes up to 21 seconds. :-(
I don't want to disable vc-mode entirely, I just want to make sure
that vc-git doesn' t get loaded when I don't need it.
There was a topic [0] on this issue on stackoverflow. I took the
advice to remove vc-find-file-hook from fine-file-hook list, thus
speeding up Emacs a lot. But when I save file, vc-git gets loaded once
again, which consumes 21 seconds. So my questions are a) how to
disable this save file hook (I grepped in vc-*.el, didn't find
save-*-hook), b) are there any other hooks I need to take care of?
Extra questions (to developers and/or Emacs gurus): Why is vc-git so
slow (see [0] for profiling details)? Is there a genuine way to fix
this?
My setup: Intel Q9450, 4GB Ram, 500GB 7200rpm disk. Was playing with
Linux kernel git repository, which was stored in local disk.
Thanks
Wei.
