Jon,

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

I am using cvsps-2.1-3.fc5, the last time I tried it died in the
middle of the import. I don't remember why it died. Which cvsps are
you using? You're saying that it can handle the whole Mozilla CVS now,
right? I will build a new cvsps from CVS and start it running tonight.

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.

I would much rather get a direct CVS import working so that I can do
incremental updates. I went the SVN route because it was the only
thing I could get working.

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

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

We are all having problems getting this to run on 32 bit machines with
the 3-4GB process size limitations.
