From 4c58a7111d9fb4f62ca041fc73e8aec0a2f9c800 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 17:31:12 -0800 Subject: git-svn: allow disabling expensive broken symlink checks Since dbc6c74d0858d77e61e092a48d467e725211f8e9, git-svn has had an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be symlinks. The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via: git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false Reported by Markus Heidelberg.
