So, if you mind the size requirements you can put it onto some\nfast tempdir (tmpfs, say). In fact, if all you do is \"git svn fetch\"\nthen git svn may not even notice a missing worktree (would have to try).\n\"git svn rebase\" does need a worktree.\n\n> \n>>> I'm running a dozen of mirrors (also from cvs), some from fairly\n>>> large and I'd like to get rid of the working copies.\n>>\n>> Your only option is a different conversion tool.

It is basically\n\"svndump remote\", i.e. a client outputting svn dump format.\n\nMichael\n\nP.S.: We usually keep cc's when replying here.\n"},{"id":"149167","messageId":"4C793D1A.8050200@icecavern.net","threadId":"24834","inReplyTo":"20100823122425.GB12810@nibiru.local","subject":"Re: git-svn mirror in bare repo","fromName":"Wesley J.

I use this when I have a bunch of SVN repositories I need\nto be able to work with quickly at any time, but I don't want to waste\nthe disk space having all of their working copies checked out\nsimultaneously.\n"}]}
