This was a great site; I'm surprised more Slashdotters aren't familiar with it. I've downloaded plenty of flight sim expansion stuff from it -- in the best tradition of open source the site consisted free downloads contributed by the fs community. It's very upsetting that all that work is gone, and I blame whoever did it, not the site owners. Otherwise it is like blaming the architects of the WTS for not making the towers plane-proof.

I migrated from SVN (actually SVK) to git; I used git-svn initially to keep my centralized svn repository up to date, but eventually I did too many merges of too many local branches and now I can't dcommit back to svn. But... I like git so much that I chucked svn and now use GitHub as my central repository.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but apparently it is a problem with ReiserFS and the Beagle search program. I turned off Beagle and it stopped freezing. Other option is to change to a different FS like ext3. I would check and see if you have ReiserFS (this is especially likely if you upgraded from earlier Suse, as Reiser was default).
