Re: Figured out how to get Mozilla into git

Jon,

oh, I went back to a cvsimport that I started a couple days ago.
Completed with no problems...

    Import NSPR 4.6.2 and NSS 3.11.1

mozilla.git$ du -sh .git/
2.0G    .git/

It took

I should have the results in the morning. I wonder how long it will
take to start gitk on a 10GB repository.

Hopefully not that big :) -- anyway, just do gitk --max-count=1000

Once I get this monster into git, are there tools that will let me
keep it in sync with Mozilla CVS?

If you use git-cvsimport, you can safely re-run it on a cronjob to
keep it in sync. Not too sure about the cvs2svn => git-svnimport,
though git-svnimport does support incremental imports.

SVN renamed numeric branches to this form, unlabeled-3.7.24, so that
may be a problem.

Ouch,

Any advice on how to pack this to make it run faster?

git-repack -a -d but it OOMs on my 2GB+2GBswap machine :(
