Dang, this made `git log` inside the repo I use at work (which is enormous with a stupid number of commits) nearly instantaneous. Great work.

`git status` still takes over a second for me though, oh well...

Have you tried the fsmonitor hook feature that was added in git 2.17? https://blog.github.com/2018-04-05-git-217-released/

This is basically what Fossil call timeline or I'm missing something? https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline

It's not a UI feature, the UI feature has existed forever (it's the log and log graph). This is a cache for the graph so that it does not have to be rebuilt every time it's displayed.
