Hi Andriy, For tracking /etc, this seems to work: git svn clone -b 'releng/*/etc' -t 'release/*/etc' svn://svn.freebsd.org/base (it started, I don't have the time/space/bandwidth to let it finish). Unfortunately only releng and release, you can get other namespaces like stable. Double-globbing should work, (I thought Marcus got it to work a few months ago), but doesn't seem to at the moment: git svn clone -b '*/*/etc' Marcus? The long way: If you explicitly specify every branch you want, it'll definitely, too. It's just a huge pain to setup since you'll lose all the advantages of globbing, so it could end up being a very big .git/config file: [svn-remote "svn"] url = svn://svn.freebsd.org/base fetch = releng/4.3/etc:refs/remotes/releng/4.3/etc fetch = release/4.3.0/etc:refs/remotes/release/4.3.0/etc fetch = stable/4/etc:refs/remotes/stable/4/etc ; ... -- Eric Wong -- 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
