+Actually, it is in getDirectoryContents itself, so not even in git-annex's code. Filed a bug w/patch: <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9266>
+
+I do not feel this is serious enough to work around in git-annex with a fixed copy of getDirectoryContents, so I'll wait for that get fixed.
+
+Testing with my patched getDirectoryContents, git-annex still uses up a lot of memory in this situation. It no longer blows the stack, but getDirectoryContents is still using entirely more memory than it needs to.

+Yall need to tell me your git-annex versions. [[devblog/day_183__rubbing_sticks_together]] fixed a horrible slowdown that indeed causes git-annex on windows to unnecessarily look at lots of files.
+
+Also, is this using the git-annex assistant, or using git-annex at the command line that's being slow?
+
+As to using symlinks on windows, cygwin's build of git is able to handle them somehow. I have not tried to get it working with git-annex, but it seems at least possible that indirect mode could be accomplished that way.
