Note that git-fast-import produces extremely suboptimal git packs. You should run "git gc --aggressive" after converting. In KDE I have seen post-svn2git repos shrink by two or three orders of magnitude by repacking them with git-gc. Maybe if you do that, there is no need to push in batches of 1000 commits. -- Nicolás _______________________________________________ core-workflow mailing list core-workflow@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-workflow This list is governed by the PSF Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct
