Re: how to fetch a new svn branch after clone?

Thank Allen.

I deleted some branches in local git repository, since it's no need to
track every one's branch.

And after that, ''git svn fetch'' report error like this:

error: invalid object a0eb1d6f18d20c0b9f30062cd981e9b668aac75f
fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
write-tree: command returned error: 128

Is it wrong to delete some svn branches in git by "git branch -r -d branch_name"

                                                      Changsheng Jiang
