Hello,
I have a problem with a git-svn setup and although I spent most of
yesterday googling for a solution but did not find any (see below for my
failed attempts). I hope you guys here will be able to help me.
I have limited access to a SVN repository with a "standard" layout. By
limited, I mean that I am allowed only to access the folders "trunk",
"branches/XXX" and "branches/YYY".
*Attempt 1:*
> git svn init svn://server/aaa/AAA -T trunk -b branches --username=UUU
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/.../.git/
Using higher level of URL: svn://server/aaa/AAA => svn://server/aaa
> git svn fetch
Error from SVN, (220001): Item is not readable: Item is not readable
*Attempt 2:*
> git svn init svn://server/aaa/AAA -T trunk -b branches --username=UUU
--no-minimize-url
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/.../.git/
> git svn fetch
W: Item is not readable: Item is not readable at
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1782

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013):

W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching
aggressively for old history.
This may take a while on large repositories

*Attempt 4:*

svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches --username=UUU --no-minimize-url

svn-remote.svn.url already set: svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk
wanted to set to: svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches

### No line with any branch. So it looks like I managed to get the trunk
but not the branches.
*Attempt 5:*
> git svn init -T svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk -b
svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches --username=UUU --no-minimize-url
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/.../.git/
svn-remote.svn.url already set: svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk
wanted to set to: svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches
### My .git/config looks like:
[svn-remote "svn"]
url = svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk
fetch = :refs/remotes/trunk
### If I try to add one of the branches manually:
branches = branches/XXX:refs/remotes/branches/XXX
> git svn fetch
One '*' is needed in glob: 'branches/XXX'
*Attempt 6:*
> git svn init -T svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk -b
svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches --username=UUU --no-minimize-url
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/.../.git/
svn-remote.svn.url already set: svn://server/aaa/AAA/trunk
wanted to set to: svn://server/aaa/AAA/branches
### I put a glob instead of the branch name in git/.config:
branches = branches/{XXX,YYY}:refs/remotes/branches/*
> git svn fetch

### Only refs/remotes/trunk checked out. No branch.
At this point, I'm really lost and running out of ideas. If someone
could help me with this, I would be very grateful.
Please forgive me if I posted to the wrong mailing-list but I could not
find a specific git-svn list. If there is such thing, please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,
Antoine.
