Hi I'm using git-svn for watching over SVN repositories in svn.asterisk.org . The largest one there is http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk . This worked fine up until recently. I was using Debian Stable with Git 1.5.6 . Recently I upgraded my system to Debian Testing with Git 1.6 (I currently have 1.6.6.1-1). Today I tried to update the repository (git svn rebase --fetch-all) and got the following error: fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/remotes/tags/autotag_for_.'. IIRC it followed an automatic garbage-collection in the repository. I decided to re-clone the SVN repository (I was planning on doing that for quite some time, with a proper AUTHORS file this time. But it's a repo of some 200,000 revisions and takes a few days to clone) I eventually got the same error. The specific revision that triggered it: http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk?view=revision&revision=47394 Should git-svn mangle SVN tag names to be legal git ref names? Or just panic before it makes the git repo invalid? Is there a way for me to skip some tags? I can avoid that specific tag. Please CC your replies to me as I don't actively follow this list. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen@xxxxxxxxxx +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/tzafrir -- 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
