Call me slow, but I am still running and rerunning that gentoo import. ;-)
The current import has reached ~200K commits, and .git is 450MB, while
the checked out tree is 230MB (680MB with .git). At this stage, git
repack -a -d is too memory hungry. I just had to kill it after it took
2GB and was still growing fast. So I have dropped the -a in my test
import for the time being.
Other than that, we are doing ~6K commits per hour on a 2GB 2GHz Opteron.
cheers,
martin
