With git, git switch -c $A is fast, but with pijul, the semi-equivalent command combination is slow, e.g. on my PC, on an filesystem on a SSD, this takes a few seconds, and I don’t think it should take so long. If this can’t be optimized directly, a shortcut command which implements necessary optimizations should be added (e.g. something like pijul channel switch --create $A)

How big is your pijul repo?

Anyway you should wait for new major sanakirja upgrade.

~/devel/pijul $ du -bsh .pijul
19M     .pijul
~/devel/pijul $ du -bsh .
25M     .
~/devel/pijul $ pijul ls | wc -l
128

This is slow, but it is expected for now. I have plans to make it faster by comparing the changes in two channels, but I’ll fix the other bugs first.

I’ll close this, since this is a duplicate of #357. This isn’t fixed yet, and since it isn’t critical I don’t want to prioritise it too much before the beta.
