Nobody could checkout anymore, because I accidently checked in a .svn directory with git svn. I'm lucky that I'm still allowed to use git svn to work on our svn repo... Maybe you could add a warning or something else to avoid .svn directories to be ever checked in via git svn. I'm sure that there is also a config option somewhere to get .svn directories ignored (also subdirs when adding the parent dir?). But this check should really be a default setting to avoid other newcommers to get into trouble because they gave git svn a try. Cheers, -- Thomas Koch, Software Developer http://www.koch.ro
