Hi there,

I´m trying to migrate a repository from svn to git which branches and
tags with the following migration script:

git svn clone --no-metadata --stdlayout --A ../users.txt
svn://host/svn/project/subproject subproject

cd subproject
git config svn.authorsfile ../../users.txt
git svn fetch

git checkout -b branch1 remotes/branch1
git checkout -b branch2 remotes/branch2
git checkout -b branch3 remotes/branch3

git checkout -b src_v1 remotes/tags/src
git checkout master
git tag src src_v1
git branch -D src_v1

git checkout -b WebContent_v1 remotes/tags/WebContent
git checkout master
git tag WebContent WebContent_v1
git branch -D WebContent_v1

and get the follwoing errors:

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013):
Filesystem has no item: Datei nicht gefunden: Revision 8966, Pfad
»subproject«
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

How do I solve this problem?
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.

Thanks for your answer. I would say the problem happens while cloning the project, because git branch -a and git branch -r says nothing. The question is why aren´t there any branches? Here is the structure of the project:


marketplace

    braches

        lyth_dev

        meinbestand_suche

        umkreis_suche

    tags

        src

        WebContent

    trunk

        src

        WebContent

    trunk_112233

        src

        WebContent

And here again the script:


git svn clone --no-metadata --stdlayout --A ../users.txt svn://host/svn/projects/marketplace marketplace

cd marketplace

git config svn.authorsfile ../../users.txt

git svn fetch

#Checkout Branches

git checkout -b lyth_dev remotes/lyth_dev

git checkout -b meinbestand_suche remotes/meinbestand_suche

git checkout -b umkreis_suche remotes/umkreis_suche


#Checkout der tags

git checkout -b src_v1 remotes/tags/src

git checkout master

git tag src src_v1

git branch -D src_v1

git checkout -b WebContent_v1 remotes/tags/WebContent

git checkout master

git tag WebContent WebContent_v1

git branch -D WebContent_v1

Is there something wrong with this script? Or does the errors maybe occurs because there is a trunk_112233. The log file says the following:

Initialized empty Git repository in c:/project/marketplace/.git/
Checked through r8445
Checked through r8545
Checked through r8645
Checked through r8745
Checked through r8845
Checked through r8945
Checked through r8968
Checked through r8968

And that´s all. It says nothing about references.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
