Improvement for a big repo cloning
Hi,
I am currently trying to use hggit to clone from a git repo(local directory) and I noticed that hg-git spent a lot of time in memory even before anything was written on disk.
What that means is that with a VERY BIG repo, this approach would not scale as ram is often limited.
Reproduce:
# Try to clone 800k commits and monitor the progress
hg clone git@github.com:torvalds/linux.git
