I've actually ended up using a homebrew script for parsing svn dump files and feeding git-fast-import for a number of reasons, so I'm a bit rusty with svnimport, and never looked at multiple projects in one repo anyway. (One of which was that svnimport wasn't creating a correct import actually - some files and directories were simply missing). > Of course doing so has two problems: > > 1.

Thanks. I guess you've tried including projectFoo in the url? Other than that, perhaps git-svn may have better luck? -- Julian --- I'm not a real movie star -- I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago. -- Will Rogers
