Hi Bruno, That looks like there's two levels of tags. You should be able to do this with your version of git in $GIT_CONFIG: [svn-remote "svn"] url = http://restlet.tigris.org/svn/restlet fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/* tags = tags/*/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*/* ; note the */* to glob at multiple levels > Therefore, I've tried to use this (with and without '-T trunk', but > that's a separate problem): > > git init > git svn init --prefix=svn/ -t tags/1.0 -t tags/1.1 -t tags/1.2 -t > tags/2.0 -b branches/1.0 -b branches/1.1 > http://restlet.tigris.org/svn/restlet > git svn fetch > > > This takes a while (I've had to interrupt this) and this creates a > number of branches such as: > remotes/svn/tags/1.0b1 > remotes/svn/tags/1.0b2 > remotes/svn/tags/1.0b3 > remotes/svn/tags/1.0b3@1883 > remotes/svn/tags/1.0b3@323 > > > What surprises me is that it looks like it's looping over and over, > since sometimes it starts back from SVN revision 1 when it's trying to > import a new tag. Yeah, that's an unfortunate thing about the flexibility of Subversion, basically anything can be a "tag" or a directory and it's extremely hard for git svn to support any uncommon cases for tags/branches out-of-the box, so the manual config editing is needed. -- 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
