I mean, even git tried to at least hash out the files (and yeah, admittedly even that worked less well than I was hoping for, but I at least fixed it within just a few weeks through the pack mechanism). Or is that 411,000 files a result of how git-svnimport does things, rather than some basic SVN approach to live: does it perhaps end up checking out each file under an individual temporary name? Linus
