I noticed that after changing .git/config and running fetch, git-svn retrieves the log for the entire project (presumably because it doesn't know when the new branch was created). In one project with ~30,000 revisions, I found it beneficial to specify "git svn fetch -r 12345:HEAD" where revision 12345 is somewhere close to and before the point at which the new branch was created from trunk. That makes the initial fetch must faster. -- Michael - 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
