(I'm not on list so please CC) - I am trying to git svn clone mono's repository, and for some strange reason it is doing a complete check out from revision 1 all the way to each branch/tag . Is this normal or am I doing anything wrong? I have git svn clone a few other things recently (R, ghostscript) and I don't remember git doing this, but R is quite a normal svn layout and I think I only have ghostcript trunk (no branch/tag). What I did was this: I started out with just git-svn clone trunk (which generated the first two [now-commented out] lines), then I thought I also want 2.4 branch so I added the next commented-out section, and ran 'git svn fetch --all'. Then I thought I like the whole thing - so I commented out most of it and added the 4 lines as blow - which is also my current git config. The problem is that it seems to treat every tag as a branch, and also seem to want to check out every revision from r1 up to r3382 for MONO_0_10, etc. to mono/tags/MONO_0_10@3382 , and r1 to r2598 for mono/tags/MONO_0_9@2598 , etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- [svn-remote "svn"] # url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono # fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source tags = tags/*/mono:refs/remotes/mono/tags/* branches = branches/*/mono:refs/remotes/mono/branches/* trunk = trunk/mono:refs/remotes/git-svn #[svn-remote "mono24"] # url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/branches/mono-2.4/mono # fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-mono24 -------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess my ultimate question is, how does one modify git config to track tags and branches, etc as well, *after* having already svn clone'd trunk?, without burning too much bandwidth? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
