Hello,
I’m trying to clone an SVN repository with around 48000 revisions, several branches and tags (svn://svn.zabbix.com). After a few thousands commits, Git failed (complaining something about sed, I haven’t wrote that down), so I svnrdumped the whole repository onto my filesystem.
After that, I used this command:
git svn clone -s --prefix=origin/ file://`pwd`/zabbix-svn zabbix-git/
to dump all the repo into a new Git repository. It ran for around 24 hours to report an Out of memory error at the end. Although I realised since then that this was a somewhat bad idea, I still don’t think it should happen this way. Or should it?
Best, Gergely
