It seems to me that this happens while git-svn is searching for history. As far as I have understood git-svn searches hierarchical higher paths for history in other places than specified. I guess while trying to access all those paths some path is tried that returns 403 Forbidden. My assumption is that git-svn takes this as cause to abort instead of ignoring this return state what would be appropriate in this case I think. 2011/6/2 Drew Northup <drew.northup@xxxxxxxxx> > > On Thu, 2011-06-02 at 14:22 +0200, Vampire wrote: > > Drew? > > > I have no idea.
