That means it's a SVN working copy; SVN working copies don't contain the project history, so it's impossible to import from them. Basically, if you can't use your master copy for "svn co <URL>", you can't use it for "git svn". > I really do not want to run web-dav.

The SVN FAQ has information on running a SVN master without any web service. You should probably read that. Alternatively, you could give up on having any local SVN-based storage, and have /master/svn/... be a git repository that you update from the upstream SVN server with "git svn". -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- 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
