Hi All I have a svn repos with this layout trunk tags branches-- b1 b2 dir/ b3 b4 i used git-svn to clone a svn repos. and i have remote branches like svn/b1 svn/b2 svn/dir i can create a local branch from b1 or b2, or even dir with command like git checkout -b local/b1 svn/b1 but if i want to create a local branch for b3 with command git checkout -b local/b1 svn/dir/b3 it will fail with error messages like fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing Did you intend to checkout 'svn/dir/b3' which can not be resolved as commit? so is what i want to do feasible?
