When git-svn is painfully slow...

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

When I upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty, I noticed that <code>git svn</code> things were painfully slow. I had looked into this before, but couldn't remember how I found the answer or what it was. After skimming through thousands of lines of IRC logs, I re-rediscovered what I discovered the first time.

rm -rf .git/svn
git svn rebase --all

I found it at this site.
