Hi Steve,

We're having trouble getting the log from this repository. When I try to run this command...

svn log --stop-on-copy -r 1:HEAD 'http://svn.stepmania.com/svn/trunk'

...I get no response at all. Is this something that just requires us to wait a very long time, or is there a problem?

Thanks, Robin

I'm looking into it. Even doing a log with -r 1:1000 takes a minute so it's possible that something is just going horribly wrong server side.

What happened was the cvs to svn script seems to have either copied or inserted invalid bytes into the log message (probably copied). I don't know why the server is so slow, but I'm fixing the entries one at a time using svnadmin.

I believe I fixed all of the problems. The history should be downloadable now.

Hi Steve,

I'm sorry to report that I am still unable to fetch the log -- I get no response at all.

I'm assuming it must work for you -- about how long does it take for you to fetch the log as shown above? Do I just need to have extreme patience?

Looks like the majority of the time it is sitting around waiting for the server. The history file is 146112 lines for 27592 revisions. I have no idea why the server is so slow though.

Yesterday, the individual revisions were being downloaded (I saw it get to a few thousand) but at some point it went back to waiting in queue for step 1 and is still there this morning. Has something gone wrong?

Hi Steve,

Nothing has gone wrong. Our system is designed to only let a particular download run for 8 hours before it is "paused" and put back in the queue. This prevents individual large projects from monopolizing all of our server time.

It looks like we got about halfway through the download before the timer ran out. I'd expect that the next run should complete the download.

After this initial bulk download completes, we shouldn't run into this issue again -- day-to-day updates usually run very quickly.
