Hi John,

please don't fully quote long mails, as it makes it harder to find what 
you're saying. This is even more true when what you're saying isn't actually 
related to what has been quoted.

You can edit .git/packed-refs and remove all (or most) "hrevNNN"-tags from 
it, that should make gitx's performance a lot less abysmal. 
I don't have much experience with graphical git-tools, all I know is that 
'gitk' doesn't have any problem with 40000 tags, it manages to show its 
window (including the tags) within 1-2 seconds. 'gitg' doesn't seem to 
misbehave, either. However, I have no idea if any of these run on OS X.

cheers,
