Junio, thanks for your reply and your patch. Am 27.06.2014 20:31, schrieb Junio C Hamano:
[...] would be a better workaround that would not break repositories with large number of references, but it obviously will lose --date-order option (why would it be even necessary, though? I suspect that forcing the date-order will make the resulting pack a lot worse by robbing the data stream of locality).
We're migrating some svn repositories to git. The use case is to replace mentions of svn revisions in commit messages by the corresponding commit hash. Therefore, the commits must be ordered by svn revision number, which is not guaranteed for commits on different branches with --topo-order.
