Hi,

That was just a warning message (hence "W:"). If the path you're tracking did not have a revision between r0 - r100 in the repository; then it'll spew that warning once (it used to spew it a lot more).

git-svn looks at old history in chunks starting at the beginning of the repository to avoid pulling (potentially) hundreds of thousands of revisions + filenames into memory all at once.

As long as git-svn started importing revisions when the project started, everything should be alright.

I just dug up cfbe7ab333d68790eb37341e30f040f99cef6af7 and that should've escaped everything that needs to be urlencoded for HTTP(S). (you were also the one that noticed the need for that one, too :).

I also just noticed that changeset didn't make it into 1.5.3.7 nor maint, however...

Junio: if there are plans for 1.5.3.8, could you please add
cfbe7ab333d68790eb37341e30f040f99cef6af7 to it?  Thanks.
