I know Infra has tried a number of things to resolve this, to no avail. But did we try "git-svn --revision=<n>" to only mirror "post-LUCENE-3930" (ivy, r1307099)? Or if that's not lean enough for the git-svn mirror to work, then cut off when 4.x was branched or whenever. The hope would be to give git users enough of the past that it would be useful for new development but then also we can retain the status quo with svn (which is the best path for a 26-day timeframe).

Does anyone know of a link to this git-svn issue? Is it a known issue? If there's something simple we can do (remove old jars from our svn history, remove old branches), maybe we can sidestep the issue and infra will allow it to keep running? Or maybe someone in the Lucene/Solr dev community with prior experience with git-svn could volunteer to play with it to see if there's a viable solution, maybe with command-line options e.g. to only mirror specific branches (trunk, 5.x)? Or maybe it's time for us to switch to git, but there are problems there too, e.g. we are currently missing large parts of our svn history from the mirror now and it's not clear whether that would be fixed if we switched: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10828 Also, because we used to add JAR files to svn, the "git clone" would likely take several GBs unless we remove those JARs from our history. Or if anyone has any other ideas, we should explore them, because otherwise in 26 days there will be no more updates to the git mirror of Lucene and Solr sources...
