It would work just fine. git-p4 uses fast-import and runs it in incremental mode all of the time. What will happen is you will get a packfile per git-svn fetch, so if you fetch 5 times that day you will get 5 packfiles that day. But you could also get 5 packfiles from git-fetch if each of those fetches brought in 100 or more new objects. So it really is not that big of a deal. At some point the number of packfiles gets out of control, but so does the number of loose objects. Repacking is the obvious fix in both cases. -- Shawn. - 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
