What do your branches and tags look like? Do they have that superfluous "man-pages" part as well? > $ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/trunk/man-pages > Changes > Changes.old > Makefile > README > man-pages-3.09.Announce > ... > man7/ > man8/ > scripts/ > $ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/tags > man-pages-2.00/ > man-pages-2.01/ > ... > man-pages-3.08/ > man-pages-3.09/ > > What 'git svn init' command do I need to get the layout that I want > for my imported git repo? It depends on the structure of your branches and tags. My guess would be that you have something like tags/man-pages-2.00/man-pages/ etc., in which case you would need a special configuration if you want to get rid of the "man-pages" part. Tells us your structure, we'll tell you the config ;) Also, updating your git is strongly advised, but unrelated to the problem at hand.
