Hello, I am new to git and decided to get my feet wet by first cloning and playing with my existing svn repositories. Thus, I've done this: cd /my/test/repos for i in repo1 repo2 repo3; do repos=https://my.repos.server/repos/$i/trunk svn co $repos svn/$i git-svn clone $repos git/$i done for i in `cd svn; echo *`; do diff --exclude /.svn -Nruw */$i; done With this, I see that four of the repositories are cloned as expected, but the fifth has only the .git directory in it. It appears that the clone command stopped cloning at r2008, while the repository is currently at r3761. So almost the half of the history was not cloned at all. I've investigated the offending revision and the revisions around it, but I can't see anything special about them. The effect is perfectly reproducible and it stops always on the very same revision. I get no error message at all. I've attached the last lines of the clone operation at the end of this mail. Then I go to another machine and enter exactly the same commands as above. Both machines are fresh ubuntu-8.10 default installs. To my surprise, on this other machine the clone operation seems to have worked for all the repositories. But the diff command shows me that arbitrary files are missing in _all_ of the repositories. Since the repositories were not modified in the mean time, it looks to me like there's a problem with the "git-svn clone" command. Any ideas? r2005 = e487699eb8f94d6c5e9b732ba75e1c50cae3bb5e (git-svn) A misc/ubuntu-remaster/Rakefile r2006 = 8b15a1a5bdc8e6a3bfd7e6eb717ef4c2db0f1dbf (git-svn) M misc/ubuntu-remaster/Rakefile r2007 = 27678a3bd98400abdaaaf9af543f9558593fc224 (git-svn) M misc/ubuntu-remaster/Rakefile r2008 = bbc2d0cbe4419a499d29afda281b85b5e744a5e6 (git-svn) Auto packing your repository for optimum performance.
