Does that really work? After about 60% git clone I get an RPC error or something like that.
Git is a dubious technology. SVN was much more stable.
Why a glitch in my network? SVN worked for years. Git sucks.

As you can see there is considerable differences in the size of the transferred data.
Two points there: first, that doesn't show how much metadata is being moved around. Second, it doesn't show how much data Subversion would have moved around.I believe @ccrause meant the difference in data transferred between the shallow clone (48mb) and the normal clone (108mb).
Seems to me the git timeout kills the connection on slow DSL connections. The server needs to be configured correctly.Gitlab is hosted by the Gitlab organization itself, if it timeout, file a ticket there.

I don't know if gitlab is a good decision in the long run. Services get shut down pretty quickly or go to people you don't like.

I had frequent aborts, when I switched between fpc branches on svn. Or worse, it finished, but the result was broken (i.e. comparing the switched data to a new fresh checkout had diffs).
Of course, my personal experience may not be representative.
I don't know if there will be a fpc mirror on github. If so that might work better (diff hoster)
So, how do you link the accounts between gitlab bug tracker and the old bug tracker?There used to be a notification period when you could send a mail with your mantis and gitlab account names which were later matched in an automated conversion process.

I see many people have "Note by Florian @FPK2" kind of links there, but no obvious way to link the two.
