So a week or so ago I tried running a "git clone" of that repo and
eventually after a long run it blew up and then my UPS hiccoughed and I
lost whatever error was on the screen. Basically, IIRC it ran out of
memory, despite me having lots of resources:
$ ulimit -a

file(blocks) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited

I've just finished successfully cloning the DragonFly src repository
though.
The timestamps on my command-line give a good indication of how things
went.

Note this is with the proper git:// protocol, which is what I believe
made the difference.
I kept a close eye on the processes running and I don't think the
git-index-pack process got above 20 MB.
I suspect it was a bit slow because it seems their server throttles
connections.
So, can someone please, pretty please, set up git:// access to the git
repository for NetBSD?
I think that would at least make them usable for testing without having
to resort to FTP or rsync or whatever and subsequent hacks to get the
first clone made. We could maybe also figure out what needs fixing in
the CVS repo to make the conversion process work reliably and correctly.
