checking code via git from git.apache.org takes a very looong time... checking via github is pretty fast.
here are the time for various checkout methods svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hbase/trunk hbase --- 7 secs git clone git://git.apache.org/hbase.git --- 18m git clone https://github.com/apache/hbase.git --- 1m 24 secs git clone git://github.com/apache/hbase.git -- 2m 15s curious why git.apache.org is taking so long. thanks Sujee Maniyam
