It just shows that the log message could have been more helpful. Here is what I tentatively queued. commit 83582e91d22c66413b291d4d6d45bbeafddc2af9 Author: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 5 17:38:53 2013 -0500 fast-export: do not parse non-commit objects while reading marks file We read from the marks file and keep only marked commits, but in order to find the type of object, we are parsing the whole thing, which is slow, specially in big repositories with lots of big files. There's no need for that, we can query the object information with sha1_object_info(). Before this, loading the objects of a fresh emacs import, with 260598 blobs took 14 minutes, after this patch, it takes 3 seconds. This is the way fast-import does it. Also die if the object is not found (like fast-import).
