Hi guys,

First, thanks for all the great work putting this together.

I'm happy to report that I've been using git-svn at my place of work
for the past day and everything is running smoothly. We are using
https and the repo is about 4gb with ~9k files. I've done a few
updates, a few rebases, and a few commits, and everything works
(though somewhat slowly).

Here are my observations:

* git svn fetch was pretty slow, as expected (it took roughly 30
minutes).

* Using the syntax "git svn fetch -r xxxx" will fail silently if there
is a space between the -r and the revision number. Cygwin Git has the
same issue so it's not a bug with anything anyone here has done. But
it's something to watch out for.

* The first call to "git gc --prune" was also really slow (~15
minutes). Recommend this is done immediately after the initial fetch.

* At one point I thought "git svn rebase" was stuck because it was
taking a ridiculous amount of time. But it turned out that it was just
being helpful by calling "git gc" for me, which took a while.

* And finally, an actual issue for msysgit. Calling "git svn show-
ignore" produced this:

# /
/Debug
/Release
/.sconsign.dblite
HTTP Path Not Found: PROPFIND request failed on '/!svn/bc/4059/apps':
'/!svn/bc/4059/apps' path not found at c:/Program Files/Git/bin/git-
svn line 1869

(So it correctly found the svn:ignores for the top-level directory,
but failed when trying to find them under "apps")

I will try to put together a test case or patch if that last one turns
out to not be an obvious fix.

Thanks again!

Andy
