My script loops through a list of directory paths. In each loop the current directory is rsync'd to a common destination and then committed to a git repository.

My problem is that upon encountering a larger directories (e.g. 220 files, 1.5 MB), the script freezes after the rsync, apparently during the git add.

Is there a way around this? I could manually commit the whole destination directory manually, but I like to commit in smaller chunks, and I prefer to let the script do the work.

The script uses Git::Wrapper and File::Rsync. The git repo already exist before the script is run.

TIA! 
chdir "$web_root";
my $repo = Git::Wrapper->new('.');

foreach my $plugin ( @plugins)  {
  my $dir = File::Rsync->new({ exclude => $rsync_exclude, archive => 1
+ });
  my $src = $plugin . '/';
  $dir->exec({src => $src, dest => $cgi_path}) or warn "$plugin : rsyn
+c failed.\n";
  say "$plugin installation was successful."; # final message before t
+he script freezes on larger directories
  
  my $msg = "Plugin: $plugin";
  chdir $web_root;
  $repo->add( '.') or warn "Successful git-add of $plugin \n.";

  $repo->commit({ all => 1, message => $msg }) or warn "Successful git
+ committed  $plugin\n";
  say "commit complete";
  my $output = $repo->log();
  say "$output";
}
