The complete conversion with all branches/tags is
which goes up until
r62638 (Feb 17) is 406MB. You can clone it at
http://github.com/mediawiki/mediawiki-svn.
I'll wait till you have sorted out the hiccups :-).
Of course a proper conversion to Git would involve
splitting up the
repository into logically separate chunks. Grabbing just the data you
need (phase3 + a few extensions) would take less space and be faster
than with SVN now.
I don't know whether I would want that the former - after a
few days with intermittent problems with my InterNet connec-
tion I really got to love git's stand-alone approach.
