I have been tying for a week to get git svn to work. If i do a 'git clone'
and if falls over 'git svn fetch' picks up from where it left off, but on
completion I can only see the older stuff if at all and a 'git clone rebase'
eithr shoud up unreconsilable differences or refuses to execute the command
at all, gust giving uphelpfull help afaics.
Does anyone have a real work how to for git svn ?
Otherwise I am giving up and either going back to svn or over to mercurial.

I am afraid if you expect anyone to help you with you, you have to spend
a little more time to describe your problem. You have not mentioned what
version of Git you use, what operating system, what is layout of your SVN
repo, what commands and with what options you used and what was their
output. Without that information no one will be able to help you...

Yeah, right... These kind of threats will make people who want to help to
come running....

Sorry, but I am very frustrated with the whole thing, there is not real user
guides for git-svn other that third party ones which seem to be wrong.
I am using Fedora 10, GIT 1.6.0.6, the svn repo is standard layout although
I only want trunk, it here :-
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
This is quite a big repository 65000 or more revisions.
The commands
git svn clone http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk
when connection fails I do a :-
git svn fetch
gitweb is not updating at all to show any change in the repository.

gitweb will only show your local branches. git svn fetch will update
the remote branches associated with svn. You'll need to create a
local tracking branch for the svn remote branch.

gitweb is showing a repository last changed on the front page 2 days ago but
in the summary is showing a change 3 hours ago.
I am getting different behaviours from different repositories. on gitweb and
in their base directories some have file some donot. The ones with files
have not been checked out and will not commit either.
What I need is a well written set of instructions on how to import both
small and large SVN repositories and how to serve them and how to get gitweb
to reflect actually what is going on.
Thanks,
Aaron

"git svn fetch" only updates the remote branch. In the same way as
"git fetch" only fetches changes from the remote repo and updates
the remote branch. You can see only local branches with gitweb.
So, you may want to run "git svn rebase" instead. (Note: the command
is "git svn rebase" and not "git clone rebase" as you wrote earlier).
"git svn rebase" fetches all changes as "git svn fetch" does but then it
rebases your local commits on the current branch on top of the svn
remote branch. If you do not have any local commits then it just
updates the top of the current branch to be the same.
Note: Running "git svn rebase" requires that your working tree is
clean (no uncommitted changes).
You can always see all branches and what changes they have by
running:
gitk --all &

What does google provide on the subject? What search-terms did you try?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
