Re: [rails-oceania] is SVN export to git repository too complicated ??

my posting was more of a sarcasm at the ruby contractor who is asking us to pay for this process. Looks like i need to work on my sarcasm a bit more :) We are familiar with the svn export process and we migrated our svn repos to github 2 years ago and like you all said, it is a more or less trivia

I can't really tell from that stacktrace if the problem is this, but you may be hitting the maximum number of open files (and sockets). Are you on OSX? If so, you can expand that limit with sysctl. Try: sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=36000 Sets to a bit over twice as much the default. Also, check

you may well be right Jonathan. I took Marks idea and used a standard net:http response to write out the contents to disk instead of using hpricot. I was then able to look at the response's status code and could see 500 errors being returned occassionally from the remote server. Thanks to everyon
