we just want to migrate from subversion to git, but so far all

What are all attempts? Did you try only git-svn, or did you try tools
like svn2git?

We are trying to do this ever since Monday and it included svn2git as well. The problem with svn2git is that you can provide several tags and branch paths, but only a single trunk path.



Any ideas what I still could try to do?

If you haven't tried anything other than git-svn, try svneverever &
svn2git[1] for an actual repository conversion. Or have a look at the
newest kid on the block called SubGit[2][3]. In both I don't have any
experience, but of svn2git I know Qt and KDE have used it successfully
to convert their repositories.

I assume both are somewhat more complex to use and set up than to simply
use git-svn, but I guess it will be worth the effort.

Good luck,
Frans

Thanks, I'm going to read about svneverever and SubGit tomorrow. We will also try another tool that can convert an svn dump (once we get a dump, as we don't have easy access to the svn database).

Thanks,
Bernd
