[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16379?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-16379: --------------------------------------- {quote} okey, so if symbolic links are not a problem nor freezing/slowing down m2e and the only thing we are finding is that things get slow if you import projects that are located in a massive and huge .git repository then things are slower then i'm really not following what this bug is about ? {quote} The issue Andre had was that importing wildfly was very slow. See JBIDE-16286. It isn't easy to reproduce it. Alexey and I have noticed it happens when using symbolic links on Linux (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16286?focusedCommentId=12936688&...). After detailed testing, I have concluded that symbolic links aren't a problem. The problem is that using symbolic links we create a git repository with a lot of untracked files. {quote} issue about superlarge directories is perfectly fine warning to give. {quote} Agree. In my opinion, all that we can do is to warn users if they have extremely bad performance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
