What this post added

Introduces 'Git Much Faster', a script for benchmarking and optimizing Git clone operations for large repositories. Details specific optimization techniques including `core.compression=0`, `http.postBuffer=1024M`, shallow clones (`--depth=1`), partial clones (`--filter=blob:none`), sparse checkout for binary exclusion, and compares these against Git's Scalar tool. Provides real-world performance results for Linux kernel, Chromium, and GitLab website repositories, demonstrating significant reductions in clone times and .git directory size. Offers a practical implementation guide and discusses use cases in embedded development, enterprise monorepos, media-heavy projects, and CI/CD pipelines.
