This was from the moodle repo I archive-mirrored locally a few weeks ago
for testing:

get_new: 6
get_tag: 0
import_or_tag: 0
replay: 356

Rerunning it doesn't seem to pull anymore.  IIRC, My previous times
only imported around ~150 patchsets.  The time it took to run this
was certainly longer than the last run (~4 hours here, vs ~2 hours
I mentioned in <20051124074605.GA4789@mail.yhbt.net>, so there may
be a bug somewhere...  Unfortunately, I no longer have those old
trees around.

I've imported several trees with >1000 revisions without problems,
mpd-uclinux is among them:
