A releases/ clone which on my system takes 3.8GB is reduced to 1.6GB with the generaldelta and aggressivemergedeltas flags (took about 14 hours).
Pretty impressive! Converting to git with hg-fast-export.sh complains that "repository has at least one unnamed head" for about 6 revisions. With --force I'm able to start the conversion but it hasn't finished yet. The git conversion is about 35% done and already using 1.3GB. So... I assume it's going to need just like the original repository about 3.8GB. I wonder if git has similar space-saving tricks? --emi On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 8:46 AM, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > Forgot about this.
