Description Alexander Kanavin 2017-10-06 12:47:52 UTC 
For instance, running it against webkitgtk takes several minutes, and against boost it's basically forever. The slowness seems to be around some not very efficient loop doing 'git add', but I have not looked further.

It would be great to have this fixed, as it is otherwise really a big help with updating recipe versions, taking away all the tedious bits.

This may perhaps be a duplicate of bug 11948 which I have a fix for on the paule/devtool31 poky-contrib branch, in particular:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=paule/devtool31&id=974f963cf83ee47ee22b46a175e910091270c1c0

Maybe you could give this a try and let me know if it makes it usable for the source trees you mention?

A lot faster with the patch. Thanks!
