It's unfortunate, but there's not yet an exclude/ignore directive when globbing. You'll have to change your $GIT_CONFIG to only have a list of branches you want, something like this: [svn-remote "svn"] url = svn://svn.mydomain.com fetch = path/to/repo/HEAD/root:refs/remotes/svn/trunk ; have one "fetch" line for every branch except the one you want fetch = path/to/repo/BRANCHES/a/root:refs/remotes/svn/a fetch = path/to/repo/BRANCHES/b/root:refs/remotes/svn/b fetch = path/to/repo/BRANCHES/c/root:refs/remotes/svn/c ; you can do the same for tags if you have the same problem tags = path/to/repo/TAGS/*/root:refs/remotes/svn/tags/* But you shouldn't have to worry about having "fetch" entries for stale/old branches/tags you've already imported. -- Eric Wong -- 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
