One last try (before asking Eric...) would be git svn clone --no-minimize-url --prefix=upstream-svn/ -T http://domain.com/svnrepo/trunk -t http://domain.com/svnrepo/releases http://domain.com/svnrepo/trunk svnrepo.gitsvn because that involves accessible URLs only and trunk and branch URLs are absolute. [Meanwhile I git the actual URL PMed by Yaroslov.] So, what happens with the above is that git-svn tries to set the URL config again from the URL part of an absolute tags argument. I don't know how absolute URLs (which are documented) for tags etc. could possibly work if git-svn tries to do that. Eric? I tried also with two svn sections to circumvent this: [svn-remote "svn"] url = http://domain.com:/project/trunk fetch = :refs/remotes/trunk [svn-remote "svnr"] url = http://domain.com:/project/releases tags = /*:refs/remotes/tags/* Fetching -Rsvn works fine, but fetching -Rsvnr gives the same authentication problems. And fetch does not accept --no-minimize-url as an option. OTOH: If the option is not used it seems to me (from the source) that not minimizing is the default, which leaves me really stomped.
