What can be done to speed up cloning from svn.apache.org? It's a Subversion repository with over 700,000 revisions. Many projects stored there started their life in some of the later revisions, and the forward-scanning part of git-svn takes ages. I wonder if it were faster to search history backwards, starting with the specified path, similar to what "svn log" does? -- 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
