The live GIT mirrors of Boost trunk SVN have become a bit stale in recent months [...]
I tried making a mercurial mirror of the Boost trunk SVN and found that it took so long to do the conversion process, that I could never get it to complete on my home computer with cable modem internet access, but I could get it to complete on a shell account with faster trunk access. I also found the resulting repository was *huge* because I had *every* revision of boost ever recorded in the svn repository. I'm curious if you had different experiences when making a git repository. I am more familiar with mercurial than git, and I wanted to make a local mercurial repository so that I could work on my changes locally and checkpoint them using the version control system instead of manual backups. AFAIK, there's no way to record local changes with versioning using subversion, there's only committing to the remote server. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!
