Re: hotcopy: what happens if commit occurs while running?

I have to migrate a repo that is 175GB. I have run a test with a 250MB
repo and extrapolated the time for the production repo.

Our build process commits all built binaries (which is why it is so
large) and we are almost out of space (with no way to delete) which is
why we have to move to a new server.

Thanks,
Dave
