git-svn: cloning an SVN repo with sub-branches and sub-tags

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 






I'm trying to use git-svn to clone a repo that has sub-branches and sub-tags

The SVN layout is like this:

branches/user1/workitem1
branches/user1/workitem2
branches/user2/workitem1
branches/user2/workitem2

tags/v1.0
tags/v1.1
tags/debian/v1.0-1
tags/debian/v1.1-1
tags/debian/v1.1-2

In git, I would like to have branches with the same names, e.g.

branches/user1/workitem1
branches/user1/workitem2
branches/user2/workitem1
branches/user2/workitem2

and tags like this:

1.0  (notice I don't want to keep the v1.0, drop the v)
1.1
debian/1.0-1
debian/1.1-1
debian/1.1-2

However, if I run

git svn clone \
  -T trunk \
  -t tags \
  -b branches \
  https://flactag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/flactag \
  flactag-git1

I don't get any of the branches or tags, and I get numerous warnings like this:

W: -empty_dir: branches/d_pocock/autotools/HTTPFetch.cc
W: -empty_dir: branches/d_pocock/autotools/HTTPFetch.h
W: Cannot find common ancestor between f475b655c10b55b36df8376a396c0d9534418617 and 7e277bfd626a1caa84681e93a7af73e0160eb2eb. Ignoring merge info. W: Cannot find common ancestor between f475b655c10b55b36df8376a396c0d9534418617 and a82cd9bd2197a89303558af9aad43fa0c23d1ddb. Ignoring merge info.

I have the impression that git-svn does not like the repository layout, and it is not clear from the manual page how to make it work. Can anyone share any advice about this?
