Finally hit an OOM sometime in the past day (yep, a week later) =\. Not sure whether it was cvsimport or cvs. Anyone else had more luck?
It seemed like it had finished on the machine I was running it, and I assumed it was alright in yours too. Looking closer it only made it till April 2004 -- but it may have been killed by a sysadmin, the captured log talks about 'signal 9', I have no idea what the OOM sends. It had done 285070 of 343822 patchsets. Have you dropped the -a from the git-repack invocation? That should help. Try also Linus' patch for git-rev-list. The other thing hurting us is that the commits are _huge_. I wonder how you guys were managing this with CVS. Now _this_ explains why cvsimport grows humongous. I'll try to rework the commit loop so that we don't need to hold all the filenames in memory. It seems to be choking with the commits after April 2004. But that will have to wait till tonight. cheers, martin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
