I thought others might be interested in this slightly counter-intuitive performance of git-svn as opposed to Tortoise SVN. The SVN repo is exposed via HTTP. The current tree is about 8500 files and consumes 300MB of disk, checked out. The git repo is 200MB. There are around 231 commits in the history. The initially slightly counter-intuitive aspect is that given the current state of the repo, git-svn is 4 times faster when it pulls the entire history than TortoiseSVN is when it checks out just the current head. It seems that the extra network cost of the extra git-svn retrieval is dwarfed by the local processing costs of the TortoiseSVN client. jon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
