I've found some objects that shouldn't be there and now I have two more questions: 1. When I run "git rev-list --all --objects", I can see file names that look like "SVN-branchname/directory/filename". Is it normal that "git svn" creates a directory with the name of the branch and puts files below it? "git rev-list --all --objects |grep 5-0-3-hotfix": 5fe3265b6941c2fa74c12da799ea23e2801efa8a 5-0-3-hotfix/source ... The branch in question existed for a limited time in branches/xyz on the SVN tree and was deleted later on. Guessing the version number from the filename, it looks like a copy of the files when I started the branch as it's an old version number before I committed changes to it. (f.e. upgraded libpng). When I just grep for "libpng" on the whole index, I see all the various updates I made over the years. 2. Something goes wrong after the filter branch: Output from the full 11GB tree: git rev-list --all --objects |grep 5-0-3-hotfix |grep xyz -> No match Output from the filtered tree: git rev-list --all --objects |grep 5-0-3-hotfix |grep xyz 3a13f87bc116aee96e031441eaafc416652ba4bd 5-0-3-hotfix/update_pkg/xyz ebebb84ccff26c949fb1f803c60034074e6603fe 5-0-3-hotfix/update_pkg/xyz 5529ef51de887cc905fe460e4c4f6cd34b93b5a6 5-0-3-hotfix/update_pkg/xyz c264a9d5db30ebb131c96c4f93192bfe9a5c0a7b 5-0-3-hotfix/update_pkg/xyz I have no idea how those objects suddenly appeared there. It feels like something was stitched together wrongly. When I converted the SVN tag to a git tag, I tagged the branches with a "branch-" prefix. Might that be a problem, is "branch-" reserved?
