That was fast, thanks! I need to write up some comparison scripts first, because it's not a simple comparison (due to different SVN bases). I took a random branch that hasn't been changed in a while, though, and your hashes are different then mine. What versions of Subversion, APR, git and QT4 do you have installed? Can you make that repo available somewhere for me to pull (or better yet, rsync it with all the svn2git metadata?) Thanks Uli
