Thank you very much, I never would have found the way through all that jungle alone! After steps 1-3 succeeded (as far as I can tell) I can run git svn (but not git-svn) now. With an SVN repo I can do $ svn list http://repo/path archive/ branches/ tags/ trunk/ and $ svn checkout http://repo/path but git svn complains: $ git svn clone -s --username=georg http://repo/path Initialized empty Git repository in /local/georg/path/.git/ Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://repo/path' at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1941 Does git svn not support http? >From what I read in git svn --help this should suffice to checkout from SVN and http is mentioned explicitly in an example. So is my git-svn still broken/not functional or am I missing something from the docs?
