First try to figure out where the problem happens. It could be that git-svn isn't recognising the branches properly, or that the layout isn't what it expects or any number of things. What layout does the repo have? Does it correspond to what git-svn is expecting? All those error messages come from the fact that you're telling git some starting points that it can't find. Make sure those exist and they have the name you're giving. What does `git branch -a` say? You're presumably not giving us the real names, so we can't tell if there are problems there. If you're looking to migrate completely, something like svn-dump-fast-export ( https://github.com/barrbrain/svn-dump-fast-export ) might get you there better. cmn
