Subject: [PATCH] doc: fast-import: contextualize the hardware cost
Date: Fri,  1 Aug 2025 15:42:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9bc7547a27aab8bc2404caeb821b7f5c4c10d14.1754055658.git.code@khaugsbakk.name> (raw)

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

6e411d20440 (Initial draft of fast-import documentation., 2007-02-05)
pointed out how much time a fast-import took on some hardware with a
specific cost.  Let’s further point out that this experiment was done
in 2007.  So modern hardware should have no issues with such a repo.

Also move the parenthetical to the end now that it contains four words.
