When trying to clone a big svn repository using git-svn, with many empty folders, after a while I started getting many "error: too many matches for svn-remote.svn.added-placeholder" errors. The following url has a suggestion for a temporary fix: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14512292/git-svn-clone-prints-hundreds-of-error-too-many-matches-for-svn-remote-svn-add Still I think this should be fixed in git. I don't think a limit of less then 512 empty folders is a realistic limit. Is it even a good idea to store lists that are this big in .git/config? Shouldn't this get it's own file?
