Jokes aside, repeating the same exercise always freezes at 27%.

One thing I've noticed when using a command line tool for cloning is that the Git objects that are received at 27% seem
to be quite large. The command line tool shows the total received bytes and I can see constant progress. but this
progress does not have a big impact on the number of received objects. Not enough to impact the percent value of the
reported progress.

To really be able to notice a freeze (a bug or network issue) as opposed to receiving large objects it would be helpful
to display the display the size of the received objects in the job's task message.

Please note that in my case it really freezes at 27% and I don't seem to have other network issues.

Cheers

Are you trying to spam this forum ?
Why do you post 27 copies of the same question ?
Also your post contains quite a number of HTML tags I don't like to parse.

Which version of EGit are you using ?
Which repository are you trying to clone here ?
Do you have enough free heap when the clone stalls ? Check with VisualVM or some similar tool.

Hi Matthias,

No.

I didn't. I only see now that the ultra cool Eclipse forum software (which personally I never use) has gone mad again. I
just submitted https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=361893

> Also your post contains quite a number of HTML tags I don't like to parse.
Again, only in the web forum (which I did not use). In fact I embedded some screenshots to make it easier for you to
understand my EGit problem.

>
> Which version of EGit are you using ?
1.1.0.201109151100-r

> Which repository are you trying to clone here ?
The image I embedded into my original posts would have clarified that. The problem occurs randomly (maybe in 1 of 4
cases, sometimes more often, sometimes less) with any of these repos: http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdo . All my
committershave struggled with this until they reverted to using a command line git tool.

> Do you have enough free heap when the clone stalls ?
I'm starting Eclipse with 2.5 gigabytes heap size and usually I have arund 2.0 gigabytes of them available (according to
the heap size trim).

> Check with VisualVM or some similar tool.
Sorry, that's beyond my capabilities and resources. The error log at least did not reveal a heap problem (or any other
problem).

Cheers

It's not hard. You could get a stack dump using VisualVM (included with the JDK). Then
pick a vm a get a thread dump. If you have more than one report the one where you see
egit or jgit mentioned.

I tried to reproduce this and cloned the cdo repository (size around 100MB) a couple of times and found it always takes around 18 min both with git and http protocol. Tried on Mac OS X 10.6.8 / Java 7 preview and using EGit recent nightly version.

I analyzed your repo and found if you would remove the biggest 33 pdf, ppt and jar files you could reduce the total repository size by 1/3. So considering removal of binaries from the repository using filter-branch may help to reduce clone effort for all contributors considerably.

Thank you for trying this! I'm also just testing a clone anew. Will report here when done...

Hmm, I'd like to think about this hint. Can you tell me how to find these big files in history?

try the script [1]. I have a tweaked version I will send you directly.

sligthyl tweaked version of the mentioned script:

#!/bin/bash
# Shows you the largest objects in your repo's pack file.
# usage:
#      $ git gc				# first run gc to move all data to packs
#      $ git-find-big-blobs 100		# find and list biggest 100 objects
# derived from
# http://stubbisms.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/git-script-to-show-largest-pack-objects-and-trim-your-waist-line/

# set the internal field spereator to line break, so that we can iterate easily over the verify-pack output
IFS=$'\n';

# list all objects including their size, sort by size, take top $1 biggest blobs
objects=`git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/pack-*.idx | grep -v chain | sort -k3nr | head -n $1`

echo "All sizes are in kB's. The pack column is the size of the object, compressed, inside the pack file."

output="size,pack,SHA,location"
for y in $objects
do
    # extract the size in bytes
    size=$((`echo $y | cut -f 5 -d ' '`/1024))
    # extract the compressed size in bytes
    compressedSize=$((`echo $y | cut -f 6 -d ' '`/1024))
    # extract the SHA
    sha=`echo $y | cut -f 1 -d ' '`
    # find the objects location in the repository tree
    other=`git rev-list --all --objects | grep $sha`
    #lineBreak=`echo -e "\n"`
    output="${output}\n${size},${compressedSize},${other}"
done

echo -e $output | column -t -s ', '

Hi Matthias,

Thanks a lot!! The script outputs an error:

estepper/bin/git-find-big-blobs: line 21: /1024: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/1024")

nevertheless it outputs the 100 biggest objects. I'll discuss with my team if and how we can remove some of them. Thanks
again ;-)

Cheers
/Eike

I tested this script on Mac, looks like your platform doesn't like some of the cut options. Try "man cut" to find out what it doesn't like.

Never mind, the results we got were okay and soon after M3 is out we'll remove some big files from the history. Thanks!
