The pack file in the Git clone I have is 2.4G. I thought that was large but it's quite small compared to the 82G svn dump that creates a 55G svn repo! I'm using svn-fast-export.c currently. I'd rather enhance the Python one but my Subversion binding knowledge is slim and there's a bug wrt "too many open files" that causes it to crash almost immediately on the OOo repo. It's not obvious to me how to fix that unfortunately. It worked fine for Wordpress OTOH. The svn-all-fast-export tool sounds interesting but is completely undocumented to my knowledge. Ian C.
