Hello,
My Team has been using Sourcetree for about 3 years now. (i'd say)
But since several months, the performance is getting worse and worse - for all team members.
I have no doubt, that this might be related to the project(s) layout - the question is, if there is anything we can do, to restore an "acceptable" performance.
The current situation looks like the following:
- Projects tracked on github: 11
- Tags tracked per project: about 120
- Branches per Project: master / dev and about 50-100 feature, hotfix and release branches per project..
Currently SourceTree has become "unusable". A Regular Release Workflow (always including 3 Projects) takes around 45 minutes - just to create 3 release branches, and finishing them. (Merge-Time excluded, that's just the time "SourceTree" is loading...)
For example:
- Clicking on the "Git Flow" Button , waiting for the "Next Flow Action" - 30 seconds minimum.
- Clicking on "Start new Release" - 4 Minutes until the Release branch is ready, or an error message about uncommited changes appears.
- Waiting for the select-Field to "Load" available Releases / Hotfixes to finish: 1 Minute, best case.
- Finishing an Release - about 4 Minutes as well.
- Waiting in between until the "Log" Window has refreshed (after EVERY action): roughly 30 seconds.
- Just Switching a "Project-Tab": 10 seconds.
- Opening a Project, whichs history has not yet been loaded: 2-3 Minutes.
- Trying to select "5 out of 15 files to commit": Forget about. After each "checkbox", you have to wait at least 30 seconds until the UI becomes responsible again...
I even deleted all repositories, reinstalled SourceTree and checked out everything fresh and clean.

I don't want to bitch arround, i'd like to have this "solved" 
Is there anything I could do, to help you identify the problems? (Some Verbose-Logs, etc.?)

Performin equal operations (commit, push, merge) from the commandline finishes in a few second. So I think github / connectivity or system performance can be excluded.
ps.: Version 1.6.14.0
best,
daniel.
