GIT is still evolving and certainly needs work to cope with environments and datasets that were never tested before. The Mozilla repo is one of those and we're certainly interested into making it work well. GIT might not be right for it just yet, but if you could let us rsync your converted repo to play with that might help us work on proper fixes for that kind of repo.
I'm rebuilding it on my shared hosting account at dreamhost.com. I'll see if I can get it built before they notice and kill my process. My account there is on a 4GB quad xeon box so hopefully it can convert the tree faster. My account has 1TB download per month so rsync will be ok. Not bad for $12 the first year. It would take over a day to rsync it off from my home machine.
