I suspect that that is not the case. The form of svn checkout is:
svn checkout <url> <directory>
So your command is saying check out http://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
to the local directory "webgoat". That is to say - it doesn't have a space
in it and in fact is nothing to do with the URL at all.
I guess I didn't explain it very well. The checked out project had a
directory with a leading space in it:
0 $ ls -alp
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 rdawes Domain Users 0 Jun 4 14:20 webgoat/
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 rdawes Domain Users 0 Jun 4 14:20 ./
drwx------+ 28 rdawes ???????? 0 Jun 5 09:43 ../
drwxr-xr-x+ 10 rdawes Domain Users 0 Jun 4 14:20 .git/
Note the leading space before webgoat/?
i.e. the initial path component actually does have a space in it.
0 $ git-svn clone -T "trunk/ webgoat"

Using higher level of URL: https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk =>

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175002): RA

Path 'trunk/trunk/ webgoat' was probably deleted:
... which explains this error because there is no path "trunk/ webgoat".
Not so, see below.
However, the following command line does seem to work:
git-svn clone -T "trunk/ webgoat" https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/
Oh dear; I'm surprised it worked as well as it did. I just ran this command,
which seemed to work well:
$ git-svn clone -T trunk http://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/ webgoat-local
This clones webgoat.googlecode.com/svn to the local directory webgoat-local;
you can change "webgoat-local" to anything you want, it's just naming the
directory on your own computer.
Sure. But then you cd into webgoat-local/, do an "ls -l", and you'll see
exactly the same thing I showed above.
I'm still running your command above, but I'm seeing
W: -empty_dir: trunk/ webgoat/main/project/JavaSource/org
Note the space ^
If you're the maintainer then perhaps you will want to change "http"
to "https" as well.
Note that I manually removed the "trunk" component from the URL. This
suggests that there is something missing in the automatic "Using higher
level" detection code.
I think there is no bug; it's simply a misunderstanding. git-svn working
wonderfully for me.
Um, I think that you did exactly what I said I did, namely removing the
"trunk" component from the URL. Contrast:
Yours:
$ git-svn clone -T trunk http://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/ \
webgoat-local
Mine (original):
$ git-svn clone -T "trunk/ webgoat" \
https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
^^^^^
Mine (eventual):
$ git-svn clone -T "trunk/ webgoat" https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/
I'm sure there WAS a misunderstanding. It was me not understanding how
to translate an SVN command line to a proper git command line,
accounting for trunks, etc. That was one of the reasons I made the post,
to clear it up, and to make sure that anyone searching for hints on how
to use git to clone google code projects will find something, since I
didn't.
So, it seems that the rule for googlecode is something like:
If the published command line is:
svn checkout https://<project>.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ <project>
You can clone this project using git-svn with the following command:
git-svn clone -T trunk https://<project>.googlecode.com/svn/ <localdir>
If this results in too many levels of directories in the checked out
project (e.g. "/workspace/webgoat/ webgoat/"), take the extra directory
component and add it to the -T parameter (e.g. "-T 'trunk/ webgoat'")
Hopefully this helps the next person.
Thanks for your response.
