Hi there, We have been attempting to move our smallish SVN repository for our Open Source project (ww.exist-db.org) from SourceForge over to GitHub and it is not going well at all. We started with svn2git as recommended by GitHub and that didnt work, we are not on to using 'git svn' directly. If you want the backlog of detail its here - http://markmail.org/message/khjx6n2jbvcdnnf5 Our public SourceForge Subversion repository is here: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/exist/code/trunk/eXist We cloned that to the local server using rsync and are attempting to migrate to git using the following commands: $ git svn init -t tags -b stable -T trunk file:///home/ec2-user/svn-rsync/code new-git-repo $ cd new-git-repo $ git config svn-remote.svn.preserve-empty-dirs true $ git config svn-remote.svn.rewriteRoot https://svn.code.sf.net/p/exist/code $ git svn fetch -A /home/ec2-user/.svn2git/authors.txt It all started well and was running away for quite some hours, when the following error occurred: fatal: Not a valid object name ls-tree -z ./webapp/api/: command returned error: 128 I have no idea what this means, or how to fix this. We are using Git version 1.8.1.GIT on Amazon EC2 Linux. Any suggestions please? I reproduce the log of the last two revisions output from running 'git svn fetch ...' below, in case that provides any clues: r3447 = e7d8dd23f78464228128e9b72711c5722b07ad42 (refs/remotes/trunk) M
