i've started converting yesterday evening, and maybe it'll be finished

conversion finished after ~75hours; it seems to have slowed down over time, especially the last 20k commits that include merges changing 40k files turned from CPU bound to IO bound, and took a long time...

seems to have worked, result is a 5.7GB git repo with 104 branches.

I'd clarify step one to "convert OOO340 repo to a bare git repo via
hg-fast-export.sh". After all these steps please don't forget git
pack-refs and git repack (e.g. with "-a -d -f --window=200
--depth=1000") to get a nice and tight repository.

git pack-refs didn't seem to do anything.

git repack with your options ran for 6 hours and shrank the repo to ... 5.7GB.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?
