Hey all, After spending some hours struggling with git svn, it would appear that it does not support svn projects stored in paths similar to "http://foo.com/svn/repos/bar/myproject";, where "myproject" uses the standard SVN tags/trunk/branches layout. I'm currently using git 1.6.1, though I tried this with 1.6.2-rc2 as well. The resulting .git/config looks something like this: [svn-remote "svn"] url = http://foo.com/svn/repos/bar fetch = myproject/trunk:refs/remotes/trunk branches = bar/myproject/branches/*:refs/remotes/* tags = bar/myproject/tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/* Yes, that's a redundant "bar" directory under "branches =" and "tags =". The issue seems to lie in git-svn doing something intelligent to extract the appropriate trunk directory. For the branches and tags, however, it just takes the full URL and removes the repository root (http://foo.com/svn/repos/bar) to produce "bar/myproject/{branches, tags}/*". The second effect is that "git svn fetch" will run but exit quietly without actually pulling anything from the repository. I tracked down an existing thread on the mailing list from a while ago (Feb 4th, title of "git-svn doesn't fetch anything"), but there was no resolution. There is a quick workaround, which was to make this change to match_paths: < $self->{path_regex} ||= qr/^\/\Q$self->{path}\E\//; --- > $self->{path_regex} ||= qr/\/\Q$self->{path}\E\//; The additional "bar" directory gets pulled in when git-svn tries to determine what paths to pull down, and tries to match "/myproject/trunk" to "/bar/myproject/trunk". I've merely put a band-aid on the situation. My perl is rudimentary at best, or I'd have spent additional time to try to put in a "proper" patch, but was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem and would be willing to put in a fix (or point me in the right direction, that works too).
