+Hi,
+
+The git annex seem has problem with many files.
+
+For synchronize, the operation lasts 8 hours. Here the sample for synchronizing to my local remote server (sbackup)
+
+start at **20:12** / end at **04:13** / total time = ~ **8 hours**
+
+    git annex sync sbackup
+    
+    [2015-04-13 20:12:26 CEST] call: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","push","sbackup","+git-annex:synced/git-annex","master:synced/master"]

+    ok
+
+Another problem, I do not know exactly how many files I own (i use **find . | wc -l** )
+
+.git = 1250633
+
+documents = 61124
+
+medias = 199504
+
+it seem i own ~250000 files, but in the .git **1.2 millions files**.
+
+The following command also very slow
+
+    git annex info
+
+
+What the best pratices for use git annex with many files > 500 000 or maintenance & reduction/cleaning method
+
+Thanks

+If you want a file count:
+
+    git annex find | wc -l
+
+is probably the best measure.
+
+I have an annex with about several million files in it and it is slow, but not as slow as you are describing. Have you done a repack/gc cycle?
