Bash completion is occasionally slow
Hi,
I'm using msysgit for some time now in an industrial environment and it works quite well. It's just very annoying, that very often the tab autocompletion just "hangs" (the whole bash, but memory, processor load, harddisk, etc. seems normal) for approx. 30 seconds. After waiting that time it works like a charm. Then some hours later it happens again.
Some days ago, I setup a .bash_profile in my $HOME path and it seems to work a little better. But still it happens.
I searched the web and found some hints and people mentioning that, but no real solution for that.
If it helps: I'm using win xp sp3; It also affects win7 machines as well; msysgit versions are 1.7.8 > 1.7.10
