After a few\nthousands commits, Git failed (complaining something about sed, I\nhaven’t wrote that down), so I svnrdumped the whole repository onto my\nfilesystem.\n\nAfter that, I used this command:\n\ngit svn clone -s --prefix=origin/ file://`pwd`/zabbix-svn zabbix-git/\n\nto dump all the repo into a new Git repository. It ran for around 24\nhours to report an Out of memory error at the end. Although I realised\nsince then that this was a somewhat bad idea, I still don’t think\nit should happen this way. Or should it?\n\nBest,\nGergely\n"}]}
