Hi, I'm trying to import with git-svn an Apache repository located at: http://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/ode Doing so, at some point git-svn seems to get lost when identifying a parent: r563284 = 1e889810d5344e1222077f4026b028a922826d45 (trunk) Found possible branch point: https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/ode/trunk/tasks => https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/ode/branches/bart, 563283 Initializing parent: bart@563283 W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007): HTTP Path Not Found: '/repos/asf/!svn/bc/10001/ode/trunk/tasks' path not found W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. This may take a while on large repositories branch_from: /incubator/ode => /incubator/ode/trunk/tasks Found possible branch point: https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ode/trunk/tasks => https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/ode/trunk/tasks, 560672 Initializing parent: bart@560672 Found branch parent: (bart@563283) 69e8e3436d6572333b81a2c12cb6d3db8d4780a7 Following parent with do_switch Successfully followed parent r560673 = 7bf3908aca6fccf484f7dd806e57292400600f70 (bart@563283) D hibernate.rake D cobertura.rake D jdepend.rake jbi.rake was not found in commit 7bf3908aca6fccf484f7dd806e57292400600f70 (r560673) The error message is correct, that revision didn't contain this file, it's been added much later. So the parent identification seems to be getting it wrong. And I have to agree the logs are confusing around that revision: $ svn log -r 563283:563286 --verbose https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r563283 | mszefler | 2007-08-07 00:19:24 +0300 (Tue, 07 Aug 2007) | 2 lines Changed paths: D /ode/branches/bart Remove. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r563284 | mszefler | 2007-08-07 00:19:32 +0300 (Tue, 07 Aug 2007) | 2 lines Changed paths: A /ode/branches/bart (from /ode/trunk/tasks:563283) D /ode/trunk/tasks Moved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r563285 | mszefler | 2007-08-07 00:20:11 +0300 (Tue, 07 Aug 2007) | 2 lines Changed paths: A /ode/trunk/tasks (from /ode/branches/bart:563284) copyied back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r563286 | mszefler | 2007-08-07 00:21:57 +0300 (Tue, 07 Aug 2007) | 2 lines Changed paths: A /ode/branches/bart/tasks (from /ode/trunk/tasks:563285) copied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So my questions are the following: - is there a way I can help git svn finding the correct ancestor? - is there a way I can ask git svn to ignore ancestors only when it fails? If the answer is no in both cases, maybe I could add a switch to ignore those errors?
