git-svn: ignore-paths not enough (not ignoring refs?)

Hi,

I'm using --ignore-paths options but some paths which should be ignored (they math the regexp) are not ignored. I suspect this is because of http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/145398

It seems the patch from that url was never accepted to git. It does not apply anymore too. Is it possible to update the patch? From the discussion the patch looked ok (with exception to git-svn dying if a parent ref didn't exist :) )

Here's my git-svn clone log, with some print lines added to is_path_ignored():

$ git svn clone -s --no-follow-parent --ignore-paths='$REGEXP -r 1230:1240 $URL [...] is_path_ignored: 'xtest/tags/rel1' # this matches the regexp and should be ignored is_path_ignored: 'xtest/tags/rel1/common' # more paths which should be ignored follow [...] r1237 = c660a7e6ad81cafa0a64a7ec85a3e23f0c02bc09 (refs/remotes/tags/rel1) # but it is not!

# I can see the tag:
$ git branch -a
  remotes/tags/rel1

# There are no changes in this change:
$ git show -p c660a7e6ad81cafa0a64a7ec85a3e23f0c02bc09
[...]
    git-svn-id: $URL/rel1@1237 3e523551-a86b-4873-bcb6-76fcd93a4c5c

# Under svn the r1237 is following:
$ svn log -r 1237 -v $URL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1237 | ...
Changed paths:
   A /xtest/tags/rel1/common (from /xtest/branches/xtest44/common:1235)

# The xtest/branches/xtest44/common does not match the ignore-paths and is not ignored.
