Problem: local Git commands (like add or status) are slow

Symptoms:

• Running git add or git status makes Git appear to hang

Tell Git you’ve got a big monorepo

• Turn on feature.manyFiles.

Use new Git features

• Turn on the split index using core.splitIndex. This can help reduce the size of index writes in some cases, but index reads can still be slow.
• Make sure FSmonitor is enabled. On Windows, use the native FSmonitor; on macOS and Linux, use Watchman.
• Use sparse-checkout with sparse index using git sparse-checkout init --cone --sparse-index. Currently incompatible with the split index feature.
