Yay. We started to use submodules heavily recently, so hopefully this release will make our lives easier a little.

Now all we need is GitLab 11.3 and we'll finally have wire protocol v2 support

Edit: oddly enough, the GitHub blogpost doesn't mention the submodule perf work.

I am using submodules but they are really painful to work with. I desperately want partial clones.

Or maybe LFS?

in graph serialization blog author states commit hashes to reproduce his benchmark, but does not state hardware, filesystem or even os used. it it is windows(and my guess is it is), then best optimization is to switch to linux, windows filesystem is just too slow

* msys on windows filesystem is just too slow

lol, no. just windows fs is slow as shit. native windows ssd is slower than nfs in linux. ms created virtual filesystem for git because they can't use git otherwise, since git assumes filesystem is not piece of shit
