Hi Enrico, Repositories as old and large as ASF are the reason I created svn-fe. git-svn is known to choke on these repositories. If you have plenty of bandwidth, it might well be faster to: * Grab an ASF archive (16GB) * Use svn-fe to import the entire tree into git. * Use a simple script to extract the standard layout into a new repo. * Use git-svn to keep the new repo up-to-date. -- David Michael Barr On Saturday, 15 September 2012 at 8:07 PM, Enrico Weigelt wrote: > > > > Does anyone have an idea, what might be wrong here / how to fix it > > > ? > > > > > > > > Here: git svn --version > > git-svn version 1.7.12.592.g41e7905 (svn 1.6.18) > > > > What's yours? > > 1.7.9.5 (ubuntu precise) > > > I'm getting > > > > Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/discovery/.git/ > > Using higher level of URL: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/discovery => > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf > > W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): > > Dateisystem hat keinen Eintrag: File not found: revision 100, path > > '/commons/proper/discovery' > > 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 > > > > and then it checks the revisions.
