Why is git core.preloadindex default value false? -


can answer why core.preloadindex false default? there pitfalls? can't imagine performance penalty.

why not default - well, introduced in 2008, , did improve performance on weak filesystems nfs, and... linus of opinion should made default - http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/git-status-takes-30-seconds-on-windows-7-why-tp7580816p7580853.html

i wonder if preloadindex shouldn't enabled default.. it's huge deal on nfs, , real downside expects threading work. potentially slows things down tiny bit single-cpu cases cached, isn't relevant case.
