Hi,

We've been updating the svn-git converter and pushing out a new
converted repo every two weeks, and are now approaching the time where
we'd like to commit to the tree generated by the exporter, and
guarantee that hashes will remain consistent from this point. At this
point the Git Working Group believes the conversion represents a
high-fidelity translation of the Subversion history, but would
appreciate additional review in case we've missed anything.

I'd ask folks with an interest in the FreeBSD repository to clone the
beta conversion and review the converted history in the specific areas
they are interested in - e.g., specific contrib/ software, device
drivers, etc. This will also present our final opportunity to change
the author map file, if necessary.

The beta src tree can be cloned via:
% git clone https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/src.git freebsd-cgit-beta

Please follow up this week if you notice any discrepancies or author
entries that require updates.

One issue that's been seen is adding this remote to an existing repo:

$ git remote add cgit-beta https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/ports.git
$ git fetch cgit-beta
error: RPC failed; HTTP 413 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 413
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

413 is Payload too large

This is because when you fetch, you're telling the other end what hashes you have and it's figuring out what to send you, and that list is too large, over 10m, I guess:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7489813/github-push-error-rpc-failed-result-22-http-code-413#15021750

It's unclear if there's a way to tell the client to skip that and just fetch everything or if it's required to change the upload limit on the web server and if so how large would be appropriate/required.

Note fresh clone works fine.
