I'd rather not disturb svn but can do that if it's the only way. > Depending on whether there are more tags to skip or more to include, you can A) use the standard refspec (--tags=tags/) and remove the superfluous tag branches once git-svn is finished or B) use multiple tag refspecs without wildcard: tags = tags/reporting_app-2.4.0:refs/remotes/tags/2.4.0 tags = tags/reporting_app-2.4.1:refs/remotes/tags/2.4.1 I may have mixed up A and B ;) Michael -- 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
