I'm not an expert on git-svn internals, but I believe sub-project branches are a limitation of its branching implementation. svn-fe doesn't have this problem at the downloading stage (and will do 20,000 revisions much quicker than git-svn), but requires you to split branches out by hand. I'm currently trying to document these strange edge cases as part of an ongoing effort to add branch information on top of svn-fe's output. Would you mind taking a look at [1] and letting me know if it's an understandable description of your problem? Improvements and other edge cases are very much welcome, and I hope to have something in the coming months that tackles these issues. - Andrew [1]https://github.com/andrew-sayers/SVN-Branching-Language/blob/master/t/advanced/subproject_branch.sh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
