This is really frustrating.

I have tried every combination of file://localhost/ file:///

This is what I get

git-svn clone file:///working/svn/network/wireshark/ -T trunk -b branches -t tags wireshark Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ Couldn't open a repository: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to open repository 'file:///working/svn/network/wireshark' at /usr/bin/git-svn line 1048

> ls -la /working/svn/network/wireshark/

total 16 drwxr-xr-x 8 gerberb zenez 208 2008-06-10 12:44 . drwxr-xr-x 9 gerberb zenez 240 2008-06-12 13:00 .. drwxr-xr-x 6 gerberb zenez 240 2008-06-12 12:14 .svn drwxr-xr-x 6 gerberb zenez 152 2008-06-10 12:43 historic drwxr-xr-x 5 gerberb zenez 152 2008-06-10 12:46 prereleases drwxr-xr-x 86 gerberb zenez 2728 2008-06-10 12:37 releases drwxr-xr-x 26 gerberb zenez 7016 2008-06-10 12:39 trunk drwxr-xr-x 25 gerberb zenez 7136 2008-06-10 11:45 trunk-1.0

It is the exact same message wheter I use...

Add the options -T trunk -b branches -t tags above same results.

git-svn really does not like to import from a local svn file...

Any other ideas,

Thanks, I really apperciate the assistance.
