No. Because "this" is different in the two cases above: "git svn clone" clones the history of an svn repo, and the command above clearly gives you the history of that branch in the specified revision range (consisting of 1 revision). It is empty. "svn co" checks out a specific revision. You cannot "clone" a revision. If all you want is a git repository with no history, but with the files of a specific svn revision, you can svn co -r 12345 https://host/svn/foo/branches/bar xyz cd xyz git init find . -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -Rf git add . git commit -m "r12345 of branch bar" Michael -- 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
