Right, I was doing this on Windows, where strace is rather.. limited, so I thought I'd just share the code for all to play with :-) But, on my linux box: $ strace -e fstat,stat,lstat,stat64,lstat64 -f git-status 2>&1 | wc -l 300195 (Slightly more stats there, as expected, due to the listings of the shells stats too, and not just the builtins.) -- .marius
