</div>For Windows - is that really still the case ?<br></blockquote><div>It is built on Perl and does not work without MinGW.

Last I tried it seemed to work fine ?<br>
I used this <a href="http://help.github.com/win-git-installation/" target="_blank">http://help.github.com/win-git-installation/</a><br>
<br>
You had any specific bad experiences ?<br></blockquote><div>As I remember, when I tried it (~1 year ago), it had a very unstable support of git svn. As I said, after a lot of attempts I was unable to create a Git mirror.</div>

About Eclipse, egit seem to be doing well ?<br>
note, since git is darn fast I rarely eclipse tooling worth bothering with it...but again<br>
I'll need to try on some more real examples to tell (hence my attempt on getting a real git repo to work with)<br>
<br>
> • Git repo will be too big. Thus this is a question for me will be commits faster or not. It will big because:<br>
<div class="im">> • JBoss Tools SVN consists of pretty coupled projects, so we have(?) to create a single Git repo for all of them.<br>
<br>
</div>well, its always been the intent these should get decoupled more and more with proper API's...one of the reasons that haven't happen<br>
could be "blamed" on the fact the source is kept so close so its easy to "cheat" instead of defining proper API's.<br>
<br>
> • There are a lot of binaries (jars, images, videos, giant zip-files, ...). If we want to have all SVN history in Git, we have to add all these binaries to the mirror. I expect it will take approx 5GB (SVN repo itself takes 7GB now).<br>
<br>
hmm - what repo are you using ? My repo with most projects built is a total of 3.7GB ...thus its (hopefully) much less since most are not versioned data.<br></blockquote><div>I have a local SVN mirror. Its size is 7GB.</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
We haven't had videos in the main repo for years and they were seldom changed thus shouldn't be too much - but we'll see.<br>
<br>
btw. jars is often something that can be fixed - again, being sloppy about adding many big jars for testing a basic feature often is not needed.<br></blockquote><div>I mean we cannot remove jars from the history. There are only two ways: or create a new Git repo from scratch, or accept that it will be huge.</div>

<br>
</div>yup - i've created a local svn mirror and it is currenty running svn2git to get a full repo to see how bad/big the damage is.<br>
<br>
The final version i'll probably just include all the later branches/tags instead of the full story.<br>
