Hi. Recently I sent Eric (who is CC-ed and these days sporadic available for deeper analyses) email titled as "git-svn cloning get stuck during processing huge file". It was about "git svn clone ..." against repository which had big third-party files (1,3 GB, 1,1 GB, 80 MB, 55 MB ), temporary stored in that repository by mistake (deleted in next revisions). So, because I don' t want them, naturally, neither in WC, nor in .git/object files as a part of history, I used "--ignore-paths" to avoid them.
Until today I though that process git-svn hangs, because I did not see any progress indicator for a long time, more than couple of hours. (Thankful to "--ignore-paths", there were no temporary file(s) under ./git which rapidly increase on second level, but still there were files such as (MAC's git-svn): -rw------- 1 vladimirdosen staff 0 Feb 26 17:51 Git_git_blob_1101_0_gyOjAm -rw------- 1 vladimirdosen staff 0 Feb 26 17:51 Git_svn_delta_1101_0_kG6AtD -rw------- 1 vladimirdosen staff 0 Feb 26 17:51 Git_svn_hash_OkjgGH , as well as -rw-r--r-- 1 vladimirdosen staff 0 Feb 26 17:51 index.lock under /.git/svn/refs/remotes/git-svn. ... and I could note that process "get stuck" somewhere between Ra.gs_do_update's call for "$reporter->finish_report($pool);" and return from Fetcher.apply_textdelta. ) Fortunately, today, probably thankful to much better network condition, I succeed with "latency" 60-80 minutes, where handling of mentioned files has taken 98% of total cloning. So now, my question(s) could be rephrased: Is there any way that ignoring with "ignore-paths" can be complete ignoring of marked files, or why beside many "return undef if $self->is_path_ignored" in git-svn this cloning(fetching) takes significant time anyhow? It is not only about waiting, but I was misled that process is not possible at all if I want to migrate SVN with full history :) Thanks, Vladimir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
