I've been working almost fulltime for two weeks migrating a subversion repository to git. Most repos go fine, but some doesn't and I'm running out of options. Been trying to find posts regarding this and tried what I've found. The subversion repo contains subrepos. Layout is this: tags branches <trunk is in root dir, contains only a maven pom.xml> subrepo-a(with standard layout: trunk, tags, branches) subrepo-n Team is doing ongoing development in currently four branches (develop, release-product-a-1.1, release-product-b-1.0, trunk). I'll deal with that later. What happends is that I get the svn log message, but the file is not the correct one, or the file is completely missing suddenly. git checkout develop HEAD is now at 5269d17... increased version to 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT. The change in the file is not there, the old version number in the pom.xml. I compare this with the one checkout out via svn. git svn init --trunk='' --tags=tags/*/* --branches=branches --prefix=svn/ --ignore-paths="branches|tags|subrepo-a|subrepo-b|" https://example.com/svn/theproject/client Then I've tried: git fetch git fetch --no-follow-parent turn on/off brokensymlink workaround git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround true Also started at different revisions -r XYZ:HEAD For one of the cases (with svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround=false) I get: Found possible branch point: https://example.com/svn/theproject/client/branches/develop/pom.xml => https://example.com/svn/theproject/client/branches/release-1.1.0, 10623 Initializing parent: release-1.1.0@10623 W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 6973, path '/theproject/client/branches/develop/pom.xml' And I end up with a: remotes/release-1.1.0 remotes/release-1.1.0@10623 Any ideas of how to proceed? I am getting short out of ideas. /Magnus Palmér /Magnus Palmér -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Migrating-from-subversion-via-git-svn-contains-log-entry-but-not-the-file-change-in-the-branch-tp4997493p4997493.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
