I ran the following command to clone from an svn repository that followed the standard svn folder layout and had two branches: svn clone -s svn://path/to/my_repo I then typed: git branch -r Which returned: origin/HEAD origin/master I was expecting to see the branches and tags from the svn /branches and /tags folders but they did not appear. I checked out origin/HEAD and origin/master to see what was there and I found they contained code from a subversion branch that was originally in the /branches folder. I noticed that this particular branch was the last place committed to in the svn repo. So I checked something into the /trunk of the svn repo, nuked the git repo, and ran the git svn clone command again. This time it worked as expected and "git branch -r" showed me all my tags and branches. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
