I recently installed msysgit on my computer (Windows 7 SP1 64-bit). I downloaded Git version 1.7.10 from Google Code and ran the installer. I chose 'Run Git from Windows Command Prompt' and then left the rest as default.
I then started a Command Prompt as Administrator and ran git init on a project folder to initialize the repository. The command took 48 seconds to complete. Running git add * or git commit take about the same. The project contains a few folders and files.
Is this normal? I was under the impression that git was faster than other DVCS.
Thanks in advance.
Apparently you have to restart Windows after installing msysgit. Thanks to Ryan Rinaldi for the help!
Edit: It hasn't happened again since I upgraded to version 1.8.0.msysgit.0
