git still has issues with lots of files. I downloaded the sec Edgar database as files and I thought it would be nice way to store and watch changes.

Nope.

So slow. It does not like millions of files. And all my tooling that does a “quick” git status locked up the terminal, vs code, etc.

Did you try the file system daemon (git fsmonitor--daemon start) that’s built into git that was designed to speed up git status on many files?
