Hello,

The execution of the command "svn2git http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/" was finished today somewhere during the night. I used the version 1.3.1 together with Git 1.6.6.1 on my openSUSE 11.2 system. Now I hope that my conversion try was really successful.

The network activity was mostly low during this lengthy process. Are more software developers interested to speed this procedure up?
Do know ways to improve the processor utilisation so that such a data import will be completed faster?
