I cannot say.  I generally find the MSYS port of Git (the only Windows
port, AFAIK) horribly slow on Windows, to the degree that bzr beats it
every time.

IMO, the problem is not the slow disk I/O, it's the inefficient
implementation of Posix APIs on top of the Windows system calls.  I
once found that I can speed up a program that recursively traverses a
directory tree by an order of magnitude, just by using Windows native
calls instead of Posix functions.

But we are digressing, I think (my fault, I know).  I think what bzr
has now is quite adequate, so no per-directory .bzrignore files are
needed.  YMMV, of course.
