hopping down the bunny trail

At my work, we are transitioning to using Git in place of SVN. During a recent meeting, one of our techs mentioned that using TortoiseGit, it had taken half an hour to download the files for just 2 of our projects. One of the BAs retorted, "Isn't there some other tool, like HareGit maybe, that would be faster?"

Well, for SVN we were using TortoiseSVN, which worked quite well. I was hoping TortoiseGit would be similar, but so far it has been somewhat disappointing. Both are free and open source tools. I never associated TortoiseSVN with slowness, so the BA's remark caught me by surprise and was quite funny. I don't think TortoiseGit is slow either, it's just that our projects are very large. Downloading them with SVN took a long time too.

That's fair.
We use perforce and sharepoint at work. I bet tortoisegit is a better solution. (Well, perforce is pretty nice, actually.)
