My repository is here: http://www.spearce.org/projects/scm/git.git branch 'refs/heads/sp/fastpack'. I'd appreciate it if folks didn't clone directly from me but instead used an existing clone to pull the branch down into. Its based on a fairly recent 'next' branch. Anything not available via Junio's 'next' on kernel.org is loose objects in this repository and are specific to my fast-import work. Documentation of the protocol used to stuff a pack is in the header of fast-import.c. Its a relatively trivial stream format. It should be quite simple to generate a random large project and pipe it into fast-import to get a resulting pack to play with. I don't have Jon's cvs2svn code and I don't know if its ready for public consumption yet. git-fast-import however looks like its almost there, so I'm making the URL publicly available for those that may be interested in it. [Junio: please do the lazy thing and don't pull this into Git just yet, I don't think this branch is ready for that, not even for pu.] -- Shawn.
