Since I most often look for the history of something in SVN, I decided to finally make a git mirror for myself to quickly find the history of anything I might ever want. Since its for history only, I just imported the complete SVN repo as one git repo. So this is cannot be used as an alternative source for mr.developer. It is really only useful for history searching.
Just for the case that somebody else might have an interest, I put it on github. Cloning will not make your harddisk explode, but you should have at least 750K Inodes available. A little vserver I used initially, did not have that many inodes. My dev machine has 6M Inodes (df -ih shows that)
Even with the full svn history, looking up the full history of some file is superfast, with a regular hdd even. git status is something I woudn't do again, and updating the repo from svn is quite slow.
If anybody is interested, the repo is here:
Thanks for taking the effort to do this. The fact that one can see code diffs with "git log -p" is for me a killer feature. Do you also sync the git repo with new changes from the svn repo? J-C
