cmder really slow in hg repo

Created on 28 Nov 2017 · 6Comments · Source: cmderdev/cmder

Hello, I really like cmder but it's really slow in my repo. Each command, or even pressing enter requires like 2 seconds. How can I disable the source control stuff in cmder? I tried deleting checkGit in the profile.ps1 but no luck

edit using mercurial (hg). The process hangs after each command running an hg executable. I assume to do like hg status. It's probably more of a problem with hg being slow, but I'd like to just turn off the source control info to avoid this.

You'll want to look at get_hg_status in vendor/clink.lua. One quick fix might be to have that function just return true all the time, e.g. just comment out the part that calls hg:

function get_hg_status()
--  Commented out to skip slow call to hg    
--    for line in io.popen("hg status -0"):lines() do
--       return false
--    end
    return true
end

I've done something similar in my own get_svn_status function in that same file -- I updated the svn options to avoid recursing into subdirectories as that is painfully slow on a large repository I work on.

I still have this problem with the latest version. I tried to comment the get_hg_status() function as suggested previously but this method does not exist in my vendor/clink,lua file, nor any reference to "hg status". Commands are executing at normal (expected) speed, but it takes ages (~10 seconds) to get the prompt back. I don't have that problem in a normal directory (not a mercurial repository).

the answer of @glucas led me to my solution, which was to comment out the hg function as well as the SVN function under it. Thanks!
