How are you doing the initial git svn clone/fetch? When I tried git svn clone for some of the wink paths, git started browsing the history of all of incubator so I quit that and was hoping there was a better way.
I did an initial `git clone -s https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wink `
And yes it did troll through the incubator's namespace for revisions, but it was quite quick as it could determine that most of the revisions under incubator/ were not relevant.
I just started a `git clone https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wink ` which I'm hoping will pick up 'contrib' and 'sandbox' as branches... but its taking a bit longer, could be due to my crappy ISP in Thailand though?
Dims also suggested later that once we have things in trunk, we could ask for a git mirror to be made to at least let git users more easily get things.
Oh, I didn't realize the ASF was supporting GIT yet, though I have read some muck about that on @infra*.
Once the mv from sandbox -> trunk is done then things are per-normal, though I'm still wondering what the best way to get GIT to do my bidding is. I work on many projects that have tree's other than trunk, branches and tags.
If my experiment w/o the -s flag dosen't pan out I will just svn co the tree and apply the slf4j changes.
There are also a few other mvn pom.xml changes that can be done to clean things up some... though I hope that GIT will get in line soon! If it wasn't for the massive singletone ASF repo.... grrrrr
