git-svn: Why not use git-fast-import?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all, 

I've been playing with git-svn for some time already and as it seems to me there are two most important problems which make it hard to use in production for large repositories. Very low speed and large memory footprint of synchronization with SVN repos (I am talking about clone and fetch operations mostly). I was wondering why the git-fast-import is not used for these purposes? Are there any serious limitations which make it impossible?

I have found several alternative solutions which use git-fast-import but they all do only the initial import of a repo. I have looked through the documentation and didn't see why fast-import can't be used to sync an existing repo after the import. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for clarification.
