For Windows - is that really still the case ?
It is built on Perl and does not work without MinGW. It is just a matter of taste, but
for me it feels like a Linux emulator.
didn't get that feeling when I tried it...
Last I tried it seemed to work fine ?
I used this http://help.github.com/win-git-installation/
You had any specific bad experiences ?
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.
yes - I wouldn't attempt do the svn mirror on a windows box...my hope is that by
getting svn mirror setup on github you only need to
do git svn init and from there on rebase + dcommit.
Should be much simpler.
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.
I have a local SVN mirror. Its size is 7GB.
maybe a windows/osx difference.
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.
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.
Well, what I plan is to start from revision 13998, which is *after* we moved the videos
off so the problem should not be so big (I hope)
