I have two different SVN repos I want to do (turns out neither have branches, I had thought they did, but one of them does have tags). Doing this: git svn clone {the url to the SVN repo} --prefix=svn/ --preserve-empty-dirs --authors-file={already prepared authors file} --trunk=trunk --tags=tags It gets partway through, and then gives me: Failed to strip path '{some path}/.gitignore' ((?-xism:^trunk(/|$))) Where {some path} is an empty dir in the trunk of one repo, and a completely non-existent path in the other. (In both cases I'm looking at the revision git-svn had gotten to when bailing, plus the revision before and the revision after). I don't have a clue what that error message is trying to tell me or what is going wrong. :( If it helps, these are the repos I'm trying to convert: http://svn.dsource.org/projects/semitwist (git svn clone fails at r46 (out of 242) on 'src/nonFatalAssertTest/.gitignore') http://svn.dsource.org/projects/goldie (git svn clone fails at r85 (out of 557) on 'bin/lang/.gitignore') (Yes, they do have a non-standard top-level "downloads" directory, but that's just how that host does file downloads, and I *don't* need to preserve it) -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/SVN-Git-but-with-special-changes-tp6840904p7181897.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
