I've been using git for windows / msys2 bash for a while on top of WSL2 - you don't find it to be annoyingly slow?

Hmm, I think I am not following. Why using msys2 bash on top of WSL2? You either using WSL or cygwin/msys2.

GIT is slower on cygwin, especially stat() with do hacks to check for +x mode. But once cache is warm, it works fine. Albeit, I didnt used GIT under Win10 from quite some time, im doing most of my stuff on older windows using my very old Cygwin fork thats is more snappier :)

I use msys2 bash sometimes to collaborate with people and projects who are using it. Adoption of WSL2 is still a work-in-progress at secure enterprises.

Ahh ok, this makes sense. Well, I barely use my corpo Win10. I hate it. Cygwin64 helps a lot, but still if I can do work on my desktops Ill do it there. Basic stuff can be done on Win10 in shell (bash).

So, cannot say much about Win10 + msys2 + new GIT performance here. My laptop is slow anyway with all the bloat IT put there :)
