Ok -- pushed the repository out to our mirror box. Try: git-clone http://mirrors.catalyst.net.nz/pub/mozilla.git/ Now, good news. No, _very_ good news. As I was rsync'ing this out, and looking at the repo, suddently something was odd. Apparently after a git-repack -a -d OOMd on me, and I had posted this message, I re-ran it. [As it happens I have been running several imports of gentoo and moz lately on thebox. It is entirely possible that cvsps or a stray git-cvsimport was sitting on a whole lot of ram at the time] Now I don't know how much memory or time this took, but it clearly completed ok. And, it's now a single pack, weighting a grand total of 617MB So my comments about OOM'ing were wrong apparently. Hey, if the whole history is actually only 617MB, then initial checkouts are back to something reasonable, I'd say. 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
