Hi. I'm attempting to convert the Subversion repo of my project PythonCAD (shameless plug http://www.pythoncad.org) into git, and have not had much luck so far. Yesterday I installed an up-to-date set of SVN::Perl modules and began trying to do the import. On my local machine the repo is file:///mnt/src/svnrepo, and the structure inside is 'pythoncad/trunk', 'pythoncad/branches', and 'pythoncad/tags'. For those playing at home, you can access the public repo via http://subversion.pythoncad.org:9000/svn and you should see the same layout. Way back when I started, though, the initial directory was called 'pycad', and it lasted up through revision 113, when in revision 114 it became 'pythoncad'. The next eight or nine revisions involve me moving files around into the new directory path. I don't remember exactly why I did the rename right now (it's more than four years ago) but I think it was because I found other 'pycad' projects/companies on the internet. So, with 'git-svnimport' I've tried a number of different commands to pull my data into git, and have only succeeded in getting a log history into git but none of the actual file data makes it in. In my newly built git repo I can do 'git log' and read all the checkin comments that I made using 'svn commit'; git imports this data without problem. My actual files, however, never appear. I poked around the git-svnimport code a bit, added a few print statements here and there, and found that the commit subroutine is failing. Specifically, during the loop where the actions listed in the log output are scanned (around line 690), the tests to determine the node_kind are always returning $SVN::Node::none, not $SVN::Node::file or $SVN::Node::dir, so my tree never gets populated with files and directories. I tried importing only the first 114 revisions (the 'pycad' set) with the following command: $ git svnimport -C /tmp/pycad.git -l 114 -A authors -T pycad/trunk \ -b pycad/branches -t pycad/tags -v file:///mnt/src/svnrepo /pycad I've also tried starting at rev 114 and going to the end (the 'pythoncad' set) but the end result is a git repo with a log file but no file content. I'm happy to dive into the perl code in svnimport and make changes to help debug this problem, if there is actually a problem and not user error on my part. Any help from 'svnimport' experts will be greatly appreciated. The public repo listed above has the same contents as my local repo, so feel free to poke around it to see how things are structured. Thanks in advance.
