Thanks for doing that, Poltsi.
If people have feature requests, by all means, discuss them here but also
add an appropriate trac ticket so things don't get forgotten

Have you played with storing your data with the git backend? I don't have
quite as many dives (only about 330) but I don't perceive loading the
dives from git as taking all that long.

Pick a directory and then use /path/to/directory[poltsi] as the "magic"
name for your divelog and Subsurface will store a git repository in that
directory.

We definitely need more people using this so we can be sure that the bugs
get worked out before it becomes a major feature in the next version.
