VS2015 Disable Crappy Slow Git Support


Here's how to disable the package that is responsible for loading the Git source control support in Visual Studio. Use at your own risk!
  • Create a file called devenv.pkgundef and place it next to devenv.exe in you Visual Studio's Common7\IDE (you'll need elevation for this)
  • Add the following entries to the file:
[$RootKey$\Packages\{7fe30a77-37f9-4cf2-83dd-96b207028e1b}]
[$RootKey$\SourceControlProviders\{11b8e6d7-c08b-4385-b321-321078cdd1f8}]
  • Close VS if open, open a Developer command prompt, and type devenv /updateconfiguration
  • Start VS, and voilla - Git support no more!
To undo, delete the devenv.pkgundef file, and run devenv /updateconfiguration again.
