At the same time I'm not reallu sure what you mean by "odd errors and invalid chunks of XML or UTF-8 that SVN spits at me" unless it's some joke about SVN I'm not getting :)
Oh - the Squirrelmail SVN repo is one of those that have commits that SVN itself cannot read due to invalid data. So git-svnimport, by virtue of using the Perl SVN bindings, fails to import it. git-svn, by some other virtue, imports it perfectly ;-)

Otherwise, the left-hand side is correct.
Good to know!

I'm lucky then ;-) My reason for the "alternative" locations is to match a bit better the v1.5.0 behaviour re branches, tags and remotes, and to run the import directly into a bare repo on git.catalyst.net.nz - Tags, by virtue of landing under refs/remotes are being treated as heads rather than tags. That's why I want to have them in refs/tags/<bla>/* - If branches + trunk end up in refs/remotes then my bare repo / gateway doesn't work well - -refs/remotes aren't cloned or fetched - gitweb refuses to show those heads/tags (maybe it's because it's an old version?) cheers, martin - 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
