I am using Git bash from version 1.8.3.msysgit.0, on a Windows 7x64 PC. I have an issue with executing git push if I have a post-receive script configured.
The content of the script is not really important, as if I have a script that contains only commented out lines (around 70 lines), my git push command is delayed with around 5 seconds.
I`ve tested the script on another PC and it is working fine. No delay at all. So there are some issues on my PC regarding how git processes remote scripts.
I took a wireshark trace with 2 scenarios on my PC:
1. just execute `cat
post-receive` command in the git bash
2. did a `real` git push
Results of the wireshark traces shows:
1. Read AndX Request, FID: 0x228f, 1024 bytes at offset 0 (1024 bytes at time, always)
2. Read AndX Request, FID: 0x21c9, 1 byte at offset 0 (1 byte, always)
Conclusion:
git push command reads the post-receive script in 1 byte chunks, which dramatically slows down the execution process.
If more information is required about my setup or configuration, I will provided it happily, but I think this 1 byte read is the main reason for the issue.
Has anyone seen something similar? Or have any clues what is going on?
