Unpack git objects during pull in background?

[LinqLover]

Pulling can be slow, unfortunately. (To my surprise, even when there was no new commit at the origin so pull should effectively be a no-op.) Would it be possible to run the "unpacking git objects" part in a background process so I can continue working on something else during this operation?

Better yet: don't unpack the pack file at all. Just put it into the repo, index it and happily use it. ;-)

I thought there was already an issue for it, but I cannot find a matching one quickly...

Are you referring to #34 (comment)? :)

Ah yes, you found it. And also the reason why it is not done yet... #34
