I read the arguments but apparently they weren't good enough to make
me want to deal with the pain of file completion and more in Git being
slow due to a large number of tags. In my experience the completion is
already bad enough, and it only takes a few accidental (or not)
presses of the tab key to make this really annoying.
Also has anyone here worked with the WebKit Git repository under
Haiku? I have, and it is quite painful due to the number of files
involved, and various operations which are quite a bit slower in Haiku
than Linux (like stat.) It takes over a minute for "git status" to
return in the WebKit repository in Haiku versus several seconds on
Linux (which is still pretty slow, but the repo is gigantic,
especially with all the layout tests.) My point is a large repo is
already enough of a burden, so I don't see the point of having the
tags which most people probably won't use and in fact will probably
delete from their own repos after cloning.
The fact that the tags crash browsers on GitHub's site doesn't help
matters either.
