Pushing to a new empty repo, git spends a lot of time repacking, even if we have just run git-repack. The process looks like - use parsecvs to import a large CVS repo - git-repack -a -d (packs to ~550MB, taking ~1hr) - git-push --all git+ssh://host/newlycreatedrepo.git Does it make sense to detect and optimise for this case? cheers, martin - 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
