Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: clarify the "Ignoring error from SVN" piece
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 02:40:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080107104040.GA1594@soma> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080107103040.GA28557@soma>

I've heard of several users puzzled by this, and it sometimes it
appears as if git-svn is doing nothing on slower connections and
larger repositories.
