The cause of the git-svn failure is almost certainly the file size of da.po. It also looks as if this is only a problem on 32-bits systems as my own git-svn checkout (on an amd64 system) could handle the file without error. > Frans points out that the first version of the file that looks dubious > is 55934, and looking at this: The root of the problem has been traced to revision r55901 where a Danish translation update was committed. There was a problem with the encoding of that file, which was partly corrected in later commits, but left inconsistent encoding for da in different sublevels. This has caused the file to almost double in size with each l10n sync run: r57090: 63485294 r57094: 126924142 r57116: 253801838 It was finally corrected in r57136 for trunk; the sublevel4/da.po file in the lenny branch was fixed in r57347. Also affected are several da.po files for various individual udebs, but not to the same extend. It looks like the SVN repository itself is not corrupted, but unless someone has some very brilliant idea how to change history it does look as if we'll have to live with these extremely large files until the end of time. Apparently git-svn on a 32-bits system has problems with files larger than 64 MB. This means that git-svn fetch operations for revisions between r57090 and r57347 can potentially fail. I would expect checkouts that start after r57347 to work again. And possibly a full checkout done on a 64-bit system can be used without problem on a 32-bit system. I'll also document this issue on the D-I git-svn wiki page. Cheers, FJP
