Hi Enrico, Repositories as old and large as ASF are the reason I created svn-fe. git-svn is known to choke on these repositories. If you have plenty of bandwidth, it might well be faster to: * Grab an ASF archive (16GB) * Use svn-fe to import the entire tree into git. * Use a simple script to extract the standard layout into a new repo. * Use git-svn to keep the new repo up-to-date.
