Subject: Bug with git svn fetch? "error:too many matches for svn-remote.svn.added-placeholder"
Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 10:31:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB8C745oJjw6pZ1MFy73Wy=WM-8n=aRY7VUh73u__VLB5e8mQA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'm running a git svn fetch of a large svn repo and it is grinding to
a halt with thousands of "error: too many matches for
svn-remote.svn.added-placeholder".  My .git/config has grown to ~50000
lines of added-placeholders.

I also had to up my linux file limit because I have ~2500 open files
(tempfiles in .git)

I'm doing a onetime migration so I don't really care about having the
added-placeholder entries but I do want to keep empty directories.

Any thoughts for a workaround?

Thanks!
