Slow add and commit files dialog window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to add a folder with sub-folders containing many files
2. A lot of waiting in result only to press "Select All" and commit/add

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Check-box for "Select All" to be active and Ok button. So Pressing Select All 
and Ok/Add/Commit to proceed without waiting of 10000 (for example) files to be 
loaded in the dialog's list view.
Other solution could be to load first 100 files and a "Show All" button at the 
bottom. Similar to TortoiseSVN in log window.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.8 on Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello. Can you fix this issue? I often work with large data sets. I need to 
commit to run faster on large data volumes.
Thanks.
Sorry my bad English.

• Added labels: Performance

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm testing with Qt (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt) library repository (160K+ 
files) to be added to a test repo.
The dialog for committing is working smooth. I'm able to press "All" to select 
all files, but "Ok" button is not activated, so selecting all files does not 
help me. I still have to wait for the "Please wait..." message to load all the 
files in the dialog.
Another issue is that after some wait "All" button and others "Check" buttons 
goes gray after some time. And still waiting with "Please wait" message.
Cancel button is working fast.

I'm testing on TortoiseGIT 1.8.1

Do you mean to run
`git add .`
without checking what changed?

Yes, I mean the user to be able to press "All" and then "Ok" to jump over that 
checking for modifications dialog information and to proceed right away with 
automatic commit process of all files.

Still persist in 1.8.3. I even cannot press Cancel button. The dialog is 
totally blocked in "Please wait..." message.

Still present. "Please wait..." message on commit takes a few minutes.

In another machine with the same repository it takes a few seconds

[qianqian0x20]

It still exists in 2.9.0.0. Everything is quite slow, maybe takes 5 minutes or even longer, in a submodule, including diff, commit, pull, log, etc. For example, when I try to commit sth, the diaglog window is blank while animation still presents, until it finally manage to find the changed files and ready to commit them. However, I cloned the same submodule on another machine and it works well.
