Are you sure it isn't just a matter of nothing getting checked out for you?
The following result is the same directly after the clone attempt and after a git checkout -f master: $ du -hs 357K . $ ls -a . .. .git If it is just not checked out I don't know what I'm doing wrong trying to check it out.

$ ls -R .git/refs/remotes/ .git/refs/remotes/: tags trunk .git/refs/remotes/tags: 0.1 0.1.1 0.2.0 0.2.1 So, in some way there seems to be tag information, but git doesn't seem to handle them as tags.
Does 'git checkout -b mytrunk refs/remotes/git-svn' work?
$ git checkout -b mytrunk refs/remotes/git-svn git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing Did you intend to checkout 'refs/remotes/git-svn' which can not be resolved as commit? However $ git checkout -b mytrunk refs/remotes/trunk works but is without any content.

$ du -hs .git 356K .git For the checkout of the trunk, that works but don't obtain what I'm looking for has: $ du -hs .git 5.9M .git More stuff has been stored here. The clone process here also indicates lots of added and changed files, not just list SVN revision numbers with matching SHA1s as in the case shown above. Also, this may be totally natural, but I find the warning that I get at the start of the clone quite strange (from above): W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175002): RA layer request failed: REPORT request failed on '/a/!svn/bc/100': REPORT of '/a/!svn/bc/100': Could not read chunk size: Secure connection truncated (https://svn.foo.bar)
From where comes the !svn/bc/100 ? Is it supposed to be like that?
Also, it feels a bit dangerous to me to fall back to a position in the SVN tree where there is a level that I don't have any access to between the base and the module I want and have access to. /Gustaf - 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
