Grr. Hi all, I just subscribed and this post is the only one I've got from the thread, so I'm responding to it instead of the original. Gentoo's an IRC-based community, so I tend to try IRC first for any problems I have and fall back to the list later if I can't get things figured out. Here's a rough summary: Our main repo is actually a bit over 2G (2103621223) now that I check, but it's not very complex. There's actually just one branch, and I don't think anyone would care if we lost the history from it because it's a release branch from a few years ago. Somebody else tried importing it with git-cvsimport, but he said he hit some kind of problem and recalled that it was a cvsps segfault. Sounds about right, since I've never gotten cvsps to run successfully on the whole repo either. I tried with parsecvs, but it runs into OOM even on a machine with 4G RAM after reading in all the ,v files, presumably while it's building some huge tree of changesets in memory. Keith Packard's suggested that there are ways to reduce parsecvs's memory use, because it retains the full tree in memory for each revision rather than just the files that actually changed. But my C skills are pretty weak; I'm an OK reader but not much of a writer yet.
