Yep – sorry – don’t know what I was smoking when I said that. Looks like it’s scheduled for 1.7.2 (it’s in the “next” branch).

OK, well, from what I can see browsing the git-core history, this patch has not been incorporated before *1.7.1*!

So, not yet available with msysgit
(And we might wait for long being the extremely light roadmap of msysgit.)

I added the patch manually and it seems to work.

What are these guys at msysgit doing?

Hello.

Nice to see this patch, msysgit is horribly slow on my Windows XP box.

Though, I have installed msysgit 1.7.0.2:
$ git –version
git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0

But your patch is not in there:
$ grep -A 5 “sub fatal” /libexec/git-core/git-svn
sub fatal (@) { print STDERR “@_\n”; exit 1 }
require SVN::Core; # use()-ing this causes segfaults for me… *shrug*
require SVN::Ra;
require SVN::Delta;
if ($SVN::Core::VERSION lt ’1.1.0′) {
fatal “Need SVN::Core 1.1.0 or better (got $SVN::Core::VERSION)”;

Isn’t that strange?

Your post is totally appreciated. Git-svn is so slow on Windows + VM that it is practically unusable for me.

This is basically a thinking exercise for me to:

a) help me clearly specify what I’ve done
b) get some feedback from a couple of other people who’ve been working in similar situations.

Stand by for the patch.

Hi,

don’t you think it is a bit unclever to “publish” this on a blog next to nobody frequents who is interested in the issue?

I mean, you can just fire off a mail to git@vger.kernel.org and be done with it. (Of course, you should send a mail with a complete commit message, but that cannot take too much time.)

It would be a shame if that work would go to waste just because you chose a poor way to tell people about it.

Ciao,
Dscho
