Subject: [bug, git-svn] error: too many matches for svn-remote.svn.added-placeholder
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:59:17 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACzjUoX0X6vx58C0Gi2-aQNq7wdHXsEJY4KtUHJTM8_e-9HH4w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

When trying to clone a big svn repository using git-svn, with many
empty folders,
after a while I started getting many
"error: too many matches for svn-remote.svn.added-placeholder" errors.

The following url has a suggestion for a temporary fix:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14512292/git-svn-clone-prints-hundreds-of-error-too-many-matches-for-svn-remote-svn-add

Still I think this should be fixed in git.
I don't think a limit of less then 512 empty folders is a realistic limit.
Is it even a good idea to store lists that are this big in .git/config?
Shouldn't this get it's own file?

Andrei
