I'm trying to do it manually with git-svn, but I'm getting the same problem.
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)
