Hi all,
I'm new to git, and I'm experimenting with using git-svn to
interact
with a large SVN repository with lots of branches.
I initially did an init like this:
git-svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk svn+ssh://server/svn/
project
Then I did a git-svn fetch, which started pulling all the branches.
After a while, however, it hit a branch that it couldn't pull:
Found branch parent: (tags/project-92~9)
767f1f1601a4deae459c99ea6c1d1b9ba8f57a65
Following parent with do_update
...
Successfully followed parent
fatal: refs/remotes/tags/project-92~9: cannot lock the ref
update-ref -m r13726 refs/remotes/tags/project-92~9
950638ff72acc278156a0d55baafbabb43f2b772: command returned error:
128
Some amount of searching failed to turn up any hints on what this
error means or how I can work around it. I'd appreciate any
advice ...
Is there a tag actually named "project-92~9"?
unfortunately, there's more than one tag with this naming
convention :(
If so, it's
an invalid branch name for git. I started working on a way
around it by mapping new names to it, but haven't gotten around to
finishing it....
Aha! I don't really need 90% of the tags - is there a way I can tell
the "git-svn fetch" not to bother with particular tags?
You can manually add fetch = foo:bar lines in the [svn-remote "svn"]
section of your .git/config file. See the one for trunk. Then
remove the tags= wildcard config line.
that worked really well, thanks a lot!
