Here is the problem.
Doing a:
$ git svn fetch
Takes age to update the repository. The long story is that I'm trying to
have shared git-svn repositories.
I'm cloning the repository on a server using a standard "git svn clone".
I then let users cloning this repository using the procedure described
in git-svn help. Copy/paste here:
<<
# Do the initial import on a server
ssh server "cd /pub && git svn clone
http://svn.example.com/project
# Clone locally - make sure the refs/remotes/ space matches the
server
mkdir project
cd project
git init
git remote add origin server:/pub/project
git config --add remote.origin.fetch
'+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
git fetch
# Create a local branch from one of the branches just fetched
git checkout -b master FETCH_HEAD
# Initialize 'git svn' locally (be sure to use the same URL and
-T/-b/-t options as were used on server)
git svn init http://svn.example.com/project
# Pull the latest changes from Subversion
git svn rebase

If you do a "git svn fetch" (to get new branches) it takes age if you
have imported branches that are not used since a long time.
I've traced this down to the Perl fetch_all procedure. It seems that the
fetch is looking at the older version in all branches and then read the
remote repository starting from this revision. As some branches are
unused since a very long it it re-read most of the history. In my
example it start at rev 8200 whereas the last revision on trunk is
150000 (I put trace in git-svn Perl script).
I have observed that this happen only the first time.
This can be confirmed by the fact that if you break git-svn fetch
process and restart it it will start to a later revision. So it seems
that git-svn is keeping some kind of data about what has already been
fetched but those data are not properly copied by the procedure above.
Is there a workaround that? Where are those data stored?
Any guidance would be very welcomed.
Thanks,
Pascal.
