Here's what I tried in more detail: $ git svn init -T http://project.com/svn/trunk project --no-metadata Then I edited my config to look like this: [svn-remote "svn"] noMetadata = 1 url = http://project.com/svn fetch = trunk/dev:refs/remotes/trunk only changing the fetch line (I don't want to track web pages, etc. which are also under trunk). Followed by: $ git svn fetch --revision 1156 $ git svn fetch (now it actually pulls everything since 1156 and checks out master) [hack, hack, hack] $ git svn rebase Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history at which point I realize I am probably screwed. But I try it anyway, since svn tells me no one else has checked anything in yet: $ git svn dcommit Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history. Perhaps the repository is empty. at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 435. So apparently my problem is NOT the empty commit at all, but trying to use noMetadata. I am surprised that it fails on a fresh download though. Is there something I might have done while hacking that would cause git-svn to lose track of trunk again? Is my only option to convince everyone to ignore the "noise" in my comments?
