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?
