Resolution for "fatal: unable to run 'git-svn'"

Debian bug:

When running "git svn clone" on a large repository, every a few revisions
or a single big one it stops with:

fatal: unable to run 'git-svn'

git svn fetch resumes the clone, stopping again after a few revisions. If
you keep resuming it long enough, the clone ultimately succeeds.

Thanks, Adam! Even if continually resuming with git svn fetch isn't an elegant solution, it worked for me!

Review: Microsoft Office 2008 (Mac)

A decent set of software. If you've used Office 2007 for Windows, you'll find that this has a similar set of functionality.

A coule good reasons to buy this:

1. You're forced to work with .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, and other x files. OpenOffice doesn't handle them very well.
2. It's required for work or school.

It's not worth the cost unless you need it for one of those reasons. I get annoyed with it because it doesn't feel like a Mac app, doesn't have the standard keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-Shift-S doesn't mean "Save As..."), doesn't resize right. It's just not a real, solid Mac app the way Mail is, the way iCal is, the way 1Password is.

If you need to create basic documents and spreadsheets, check out OpenOffice or Google Docs.
