Git repo performance optimizer

Build a tool that identifies and fixes Git repository performance bottlenecks.

Why now

Teams struggle with slow Git operations as monorepos and assets grow.

Who for
Large Git repo users
Business model
Enterprise licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Large repos become painfully slow but developers don't know which files or history are to blame.

Create a scanner that profiles Git operations and suggests specific optimizations like repacking or pruning.

Enterprise teams would pay to recover developer hours lost to slow version control.

Start with a CLI tool analyzing local repos, then add CI integration.

Risk: Git itself may improve performance for common cases.
