Hi. I won't send you updated patches until I import and test my huge repo. Everything will be here: https://github.com/basinilya/git/commits/v1.8.2.2-git-svn-fixes At the moment I've decided not to implement the Junio's proposal: > >> JCH> comment line "# added by git-svn only to keep the directory" and > >> JCH> consider a directory that has nothing but .gitignore that consists > >> JCH> of only that exact comment line an "added placeholder" directory to > >> JCH> work it around. But the config file is not an option too: I have 400 tags, each has 200 empty folders. Instead I decided to store the paths in a text file (see https://github.com/basinilya/git/commit/a961aedd81cb8676a52cfe71ccb6eba0f9e64b90 ). I'm not planning to push this change to you. The last error I encountered is: r7009 = 39805bb078983e34f2fc8d2c8c02d695d00d11c0 (refs/remotes/DMC4_Basic) Too many open files: Can't open file '/home/il/builds/sicap/gitsvn/prd_dmc4.svn/db/revs/0/786': Too many open files at /.snapshots/persist/builds/git/git-git/perl/blib/lib/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 282. I think It's unrelated to empty dirs. -- 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
