I'm using Git svn but I do not think this matters. I'm used to add manually some branches from the Subversion repository. I usually fetch the branch without following the parent then connect the branch to the proper branch point (I really need to do this as the Subversion repository structure is not following the standard layout). Anyway, I used to run the following command: $ git filter-branch --tag-name-filter cat --parent-filter "sed -e 's/^$/-p c96d4da294667de1800687d25340551683153002/'" svn-release_2_6 without problem, I now get this: Namespace refs/original/ not empty rm: cannot remove directory `/home/obry/dev/repositories/git/proj/.git-rewrite': Directory not empty The .git-rewrite is empty and when the command return I can do: $ rmdir .git-rewrite without problem. Is this is known issue? Any idea?
