Staging files locks UI for long time, waiting for embedded git lfs

    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: High
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 1.9.9.20, 1.9.10.0
    • Component/s: None
    • Environment:

      Win 7, Dell Latitude E7450 (i7, 16GB RAM), large git repo (30k commits) including hundreds of git-lfs files on on-prem GitLab server

    • Severity 2 - Major

      In my large git repository, which uses git-lfs for some files, SourceTree hangs for dozens of seconds every time I stage files. Looking at the task manager reveals git-lfs.exe maxing out the CPU while this occurs.

      Also, the git-lfs.exe which is run is always the embedded version. However, I have it (also) installed in the system, and "use system git" is selected.

      In contrast, unstaging is instant, as is staging in a repository without git-lfs.
