I would like to use git svn to clone an svn repo with a non-standard
branches layout roughly like this:
trunk/
tags/
branches/
b1
b2
...
bdir/
b3
b4
...
That is, every directory under branches is a branch except bdir, and
every directory under bdir is a branch.
One thing I have attempted is this:
git svn clone \
--trunk=trunk \
--branches=branches/bdir \
--branches=branches \
--tags=tags \
--prefix=svn/ $SVN_REPO \
git.svn
That properly creates the remote tracking branches b1,b2,b3,b4 but
also creates the remote tracking branch bdir, which I am trying to
exclude. If I were to settle for this, the bdir branch would have
enormous trees committed to it (when I ran against the real svn repo I
am targetting).
I get can exactly the branch mapping I want by editing .git/config like this:
[svn-remote "svn"]
url = file:///home/chris/programs/svn/repo
fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*
branches = branches/{b1,b2}:refs/remotes/svn/*
branches = branches/bdir/{b3,b4}:refs/remotes/svn/*
but then I would have to manually add branches before every git svn
fetch, or risk not importing new branches that other developers have
created since I last fetched.

p.s. Here is the bash script I am using to experiment with this type
of svn layout. It creates a svn repo with the structure described
above, then applies my second (non-wildcard) solution. The "bash"
line right before the cleanup lines at the end is to allow you to look
around before everything disappears.
#!/bin/bash
# file_summary: svn non-standard layout. this works, and excludes
bdir, but by not using wild cards it requires that branches be
added manually before a fetch.
