Hi, I'm trying to setup a git mirror of a svn repository. The tags in this repository are not created trunk it self, but from subdirectories of trunk. The tags and branches are in the standard places. e.g: /trunk/main -> tags/main-1 /trunk/plugins/foo -> tags/foo-1 /trunk/plugins/bar -> tags/bar-1 I run 'git svn clone -s svn-url target'. It starts going over the history nicely until it reaches the first branch. It calls this branch something like tags/tag-name@revision, and starts retrieving the entire project history again from r1. This is repeated for every branch. I've created a very small standalone shell script that demonstrates the problem: ===== #!/bin/bash REPO=`pwd`/svn-repo WC=`pwd`/svn-wc svnadmin create $REPO REPO=file://$REPO svn co $REPO $WC SUBDIR=$WC/trunk/subdir mkdir $WC/tags $WC/trunk $WC/branches $SUBDIR svn add $WC/* svn commit -m "structure" $WC svn cp -m "create a tag" $REPO/trunk/subdir $REPO/tags/1 git svn clone -s $REPO git-repo ===== When you run this, the output of git-svn is: ===== Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tom/experiment/git-repo/.git/ W: +empty_dir: trunk/subdir r1 = 3b90e67a4d8e9a2d32d4389b0f6ac93e23f38a46 (trunk) Found possible branch point: file:///home/tom/experiment/svn-repo/trunk/subdir => file:///home/tom/experiment/svn-repo/tags/1, 1 Initializing parent: tags/1@1 r1 = 0ad93ba4a7f6c43de30ab4dd05161662b75a6adb (tags/1@1) Found branch parent: (tags/1) 0ad93ba4a7f6c43de30ab4dd05161662b75a6adb Following parent with do_switch Successfully followed parent r2 = ce47fc7b4e21000c84da63ad5f643c18118d1918 (tags/1) Checked out HEAD: file:///home/tom/experiment/svn-repo/tags/1 r2 ===== Note the tags/1@1 and then starting over again from r1. It's not so bad in this little example, but try this on a repository with 200 tags and 16000 revisions... So my question: is this normal or a bug ? Can I do something to import this repository correctly ?
