There isn't a tool that can do this job faster. git takes a few seconds once you're at half a million commits. Facebook has many repos checked in in their entirety that are bigger than that.

That’s like saying cargo ships are fast because they carry lots of stuff. It’s still slow in absolute terms to get my stuff from China.
