Re: [PATCH] git-svn: avoid respewing similar error messages for missing paths

Hi Eric,

Eric Wong [off-list ref] writes:

We ignore errors if the path we're tracking did not exist for
a particular revision range, but we still print out warnings
telling the user about that.

As pointed out by Seth Falcon, this amounts to a lot of warnings
that could confuse and worry users.  I'm not entirely comfortable
completely silencing the warnings, but showing one warning per
path that we track should be reasonable.

Thanks, this is much quieter.

I have the impression that the initial fetch phase is taking longer
than it used to.  This could easily be due to network and server load
related issues, but I wonder if something in the parent following /
path searching is different.  The first git svn fetch seems to do
nothing for a very long time (except emit a few of the warnings) and
then once it starts actually adding commits it goes quite fast.  This
isn't really a problem as the initial fetch is a fairly rare
operation, but I wondered if this made sense based on recent git-svn
changes...
