Hi Anders
How long does it take you to do a shallow clone from mapserver ?
While I've checked-out data via CVS various times in the past (and it takes
a couple of hours), I haven't been able to clone the 1.6GB fgdata
repository, I interrupted after a few hours.
I'm on an 1.5 Mbps ADSL link, and I've tried both from Linux and Windows
(git-gui).
And for comparison, a clone of flightgear and simgear repos from the same
mapserver takes about 1 minute.
