In other words, if I had 4 branches that shared common history, their common history all got pulled down 4 times. I double-checked, and the created commit objects were identical. Why was git-svn pulling down the same revisions over and over, when it already knows it has a commit object for those revisions? -Kevin Ballard -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org kevin@sb.org http://www.tildesoft.com
