Subject: tracking remotes with Git
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 19:44:50 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b1e3a35f0711090444g3c31e862g4ef4ef8139927840@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm using Git (1.5.3.5 debian 1) for about a day or so, and I'm
quite impressed that it allows tracking remote repositories
(I've tried CVS and SVN) so easily with `git-cvsimport' and
`git-svn'. However, I've ran into a couple of problems with
them:
* it looks like `git-cvsimport' uses its own CVS protocol
implementation which doesn't support compression; I've tried
to clone a repository of a project hosted in CVS since circa
1998 and it 20 MiB or so to obtain revisions until 2000 or so;
any ways to minimize traffic?
* how many revisions will `git-svn fetch' obtain from the SVN
repository? I had to run it for several times to get the full
history; I've tried to use (undocumented) `--fetch-all'
option, but it appears to help (may be but for a little.)
BTW, does http://.../git.git/ mean a ``bare repository (i. e., a
would be /git/.git/) for Git''?
PS. I wonder, if this mailing list accepts mail from unsubscribed
`From:'s?
