Hi,
I've now converted my svn repos to git with
$ git-svn init -T trunk -t tags -b branches file://some/path
$ git svn fetch
Wonderful!
I have two questions about the result:
1) It seems the svn tags were converted into git branches such as
"tags/mytag". Is that normal?
2) Why does master end up being off of tags/mytag instead of off of trunk?

Re: 1) It seems the svn tags were converted into git branches such as
"tags/mytag". Is that normal?

$ git tag -l
returns nothing and
$ git branch -a
returns all my svn tags as "tags/<tag>" git branches and all my svn
branches as expected in "the root".
Is that by design? Are there any downsides of creating a script that
foreach $tag ( m|tags/(.*)| ) {
git tag $tag $tag
git branch -r -D $tag
}
I'm cool with doing that, I just wanted to know if this is the expected
behaviour, and/or whether I'll run into trouble later because of a
wierdly converted subversion repository.

I would have expected, that "master" ended up tracking "trunk", and not
tags/mytag. Why track an obscure tag instead of trunk?
The tail of the fetch:
Successfully followed parent
W: +empty_dir: tags/mytag/probe/userHomedir/foo/cache/zlcache
W: +empty_dir: tags/mytag/probe/userHomedir/foo/pna_menu_items
r7375 = 5d3012afabccd348a5a5b81c5cf28532d324ea1b (tags/mytag)
Checking out files: 100% (2184/2184), done.
Checked out HEAD:
file:///home/pvm/cm/repos/tags/mytag r7375
("mytag" and "foo" replaced internal identifiers present in real output...)
$ git log --pretty=oneline --decorate -n 1
5d3012afabccd348a5a5b81c5cf28532d324ea1b (refs/remotes/tags/mytag,
refs/heads/master) Tag mytag
I rectified it with simply
$ git branch -m master old
$ git checkout -b master trunk
$ git branch -d old
Just wondering: Why is this behaviour the default? Is it a bug?
Is there a smarter way to find out what branchpoint was used to create
"master"? (I'm new to git, and find it difficult to see what my branches
were "made from")
