Hello, when trying to clone a svn repo with the command-line: $ git svn clone -b / http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/ (that is, each folder in the root of the repo should be considered it's own branch) the clone sometimes[1] fails saying: ref: 'refs/remotes/' ends with a trailing slash, this is not permitted by git nor Subversion The offending config is: [svn-remote "svn"] url = http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn branches = /*:refs/remotes/* This used to work in the past; I bisected the bad commit to commit 6f5748e14cc5bb0a836b649fb8e2d6a5eb166f1d Author: Adam Brewster <adambrewster@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 11 23:14:03 2009 -0400 svn: allow branches outside of refs/remotes Thanks in advance. [1] It does work when the URL has at least 1 folder of depth (e.g. suffix "trunk" to the above URL). Its config section is: [svn-remote "svn"] url = http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn branches = trunk//*:refs/remotes/* -- 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
