Basic git operations #7
Description
"Git on EFS/NFS—almost always a bad idea" --Jeff Geerling
It'd be good to have benchmarks that performs a git checkout of a decent sized R package or project, and performs some other random operations--status? diff? checking out a specific branch? Not sure what would exercise the filesystem the most.
We could use system() to just shell out to git. Also, we'd need to make sure git is actually installed; and if it's not, decide whether we fail to run or just warn and skip those tests (record NA values into the results, maybe).
