I'm sure it's > worth a try. ;-) oh I did I did ;) I've used git svn clone --no-minimize-url --prefix=upstream-svn/ -T trunk -t releases http://domain.com/svnrepo/trunk svnrepo.gitsvn that initialized repository, went through a lengthy list of trace: built-in: git 'config' 'svn-remote.svn.tags-maxRev' '...' with last command reported trace: built-in: git 'gc' '--auto' and resulted in nothing being cloned/checked out or even a single ref. The only file under .git besides the ones created by git init ./svn/refs/remotes/upstream-svn/trunk/.rev_map.33fb83da-1015-0410-9b9b-96027f9a4af8 and if I omitted trunk/ from url -- the same story of needed authentication -- Yaroslav O.
