After the discussions lately regarding the gcc svn mirror. I'm coming

the
following.
// Create directory and initialize git
mkdir gcc
cd gcc
git init
// add the remote site that currently mirrors gcc
// I have chosen the name gcc.gnu.org *1* as my local name to refer to
// this choose something else if you like
git remote add gcc.gnu.org git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git
// fetching someone else's remote branches is not a standard thing
to do
// so we'll need to edit our .git/config file
// you should have a section that looks like:
[remote "gcc.gnu.org"]
url = git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/*
// infradead's mirror puts the gcc svn branches in its own namespace
// refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/*
// change our fetch line accordingly
[remote "gcc.gnu.org"]
url = git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git
fetch = +refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/*
// fetch the remote data from the mirror site
git remote update
With git version 1.5.3.6 on Mac OS X, this results in:
potomac%:~/gcc%git remote update
Updating gcc.gnu.org
/opt/git/bin/git-fetch: line 220: /opt/git/bin/git: Argument list too
long
warning: no common commits
[after a long wait and a good amount of network traffic]
fatal: index-pack died of signal 13
fetch gcc.gnu.org: command returned error: 126
potomac%:~/gcc%
Any ideas on what to do to resolve this?
