Some of us have been talking about Git on IRC the past week. I spent today (well mostly my laptop spent the day) importing the Miro SVN respository into a Git repository with git-svn. Just importing all the history took about 4 hours, although I think a lot of that was spent just doing the downloading. The initial checkout was 1.7GB,
with 1.3GB of that taken up by Git bookkeeping. After a repacking,
that number dropped to 865M, with 457MB being bookkeeping. Not too
shabby, considering having a branch, a tag, and trunk all checked out with SVN take up 2.4GB and don’t have all the history immediately available.
I haven’t really used it for development yet, just copied my outstanding changes from my old checkout. We’ll see how that goes
next week.
