(I am not on the list - please CC)
Thanks for git-svn - I use it instead of subversion itself for many years now.
Just thought I'd ask/report a few issues I noticed for some time
now, of tracking development of a particular subversion-based
development project. Broadly speaking, I think there are 3 problems,
especially noticeable against a particular repository, but
to a lesser extent with some others too.
- just doing "git svn fetch --all" seems to consume a lot of memory,
for very little actual fetched changes. (in the 2GB+ region, sometimes).
- "git svn fetch --all" also seems to take a long time too, for certain
fetched changes. (in the minutes region).
- I know I can probably just "read the source", but I'd like to know
why .git/svn/.caches is even larger than .git/objects (which supposedly
contains everything that's of interest)? I hope this can be documented
towards the end of the man-page, for example, of important parts
of .git/svn (and what not to do with them...), without needing to
'read the source'. Here is part of "du" from a couple of days ago:
254816 .git/objects
307056 .git/svn/.caches
332452 .git/svn
588064 .git
The actual .git/config is here - this should be sufficient info for
somebody looking into experiencing the issues I mentioned above.
