I have discussed already the problem a bit more in this thread groups.google.com/d/topic/git-users/kfMFZ3uEFsM/discussion -----Operating system (specifically which version) windows 7 64 bit ------Git version (git --version) Git version 1.8.0 for windows obviously. git bash and git gui installed and using ------Git configuration (system, home, repository) hmm guess is covered with git bash and git gui. Using the standard config stuff using subversion TortoiseSVN 1.7.11 Subversion 1.7.8 Was typically always up-to-date (within 2 months or so) with previous versions using an external subversion provider for storing the information externally. guess the version there is older but do not know I have tried to convert some of my external subversion data bases with git-svn clone I have encountered a problem with one of my subversion repos. I have obviously introduced about 2 years ago a problem with an additional white space at the end of tag name. So there is an entry "tags/blabla " in the subversion repos. The sequential handling of the svn repos with git-svn gets stuck there. I could not find a way around this. My guess is that the white-space was introduced by accident on windows by Tortoise-SVN. Unfortunately this occurs at revision 90 something and I have almost 1000 revisions stored. Let me know if you need more details.Thanks. -- 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
