Is this as intended? cc'ing the git svn author. Can you try using the latest git-svn and also --no-follow-parent? --no-follow-parent won't traverse copy history so it may be faster, but you'll get an incomplete history. On the other hand, it looks like the asf repo is hopelessly slow for history retrieval. I'm pulling the asf log (svn log -v http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf > tmp.log) but it's taking forever... git-svn uses basically the same operation as 'svn log -v' and I've yet to see an SVN server take this long to show history. I've gotten 70,000 revisions after over one hour with the above svn log command. I'm going to restart this from a server with a better connection since I need to power off this one when I sleep. -- Eric Wong -- 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
