I tried 'git svn clone' but\nthat only retrieves commits from the last copy onwards.\n\nBecause the svn setup is really bad, there is no way I can reproduce\nthe \"stdlayout\" structure that 'git svn' likes, or any other structure\nwhere the trunk isn't a just few versions down from a copy.\n\nIs there a way to have 'git svn' not do \"--stop-on-copy\" when fetching\nhistory? I'm perfectly fine with getting a simple linear history\n(because trying to do anything else with our svn setup will put our\nsanity in danger), but I couldn't find any documentation on how to do\nso.\n\nThanks in advance,\n-- \nOded\n"}]}
