Hi! I'm trying to move to Git on top of Subversion in my company environment using Cygwin/Git 1.7.9. Therefore I'm trying to clone a set of SVN repositories. The SVN repository I'm trying to clone contains a commit, where a branch was accidentally named "1.1.x _M1": git svn clone -s https://svnserver/repository project.git \ --ignore-path=".*(?:1.1.x _M1|1.1.x%20_M1)" This skips the initial commit, but still stumbles on the rename commit: Found possible branch point: \ https://svnserver/repository/branches/1.1.x _M1 => \ https://svnserver/repository/branches/1.1.x_M1, 2374 fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/1.1.x _M1 cat-file commit refs/remotes/1.1.x _M1: command returned error: 128 Do I have to ignore the branch completely?
