Hello, It's always nice to read positive reports, so I thought I'd point you all at this one. One of the Qt developers posted a blog entry describing the conversion of the Qt repository from perforce to git. http://qtdeveloper.net/archives/2007/01/30/fun-with-git/ Key facts: * 13 years worth of changes * 94000 revisions * 736774 objects * Took 3 hours to convert using git-fast-import and a custom script * Repository size: 500MB * Checkd out tree size: 330MB I never cease to be amazed by how good git is at its job.
Of course, nobody outside of Trolltech happens to have access to the Trolltech p4 depot, however... if you happen to use p4 internally (like Trolltech) and you wanted to try out the same script, you could clone: git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git You'll also need Shawn's git-fast-import, available from: git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport.git Enjoy! - 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
