Fwd: git-svn: trunk missing, checks out tag instead

TWIMC, (Cc: to git-svn author, Eric Wong)

I tried it again today, and it worked! Looking at the command more closely and playing with it a bit I discovered I had written the command line slightly differently.

This works:

git-svn clone https://my.server.net/repos/path/ -Ttrunk/testing -ttags/testing \
                     -bbranches/testing testing

This doesn't:

git-svn clone https://my.server.net/repos/path -T/trunk/testing
-t/tags/testing \
                     -b/branches/testing testing

So, clearly this command is extremely sensitive to where the slashes go.

With the "good" version of the command I get a trunk branch. With the "bad" version I don't. Either way, I get the defunct 1.0 branch and the error message mentioned in the original email below.

HTH,

UPDATE:

I get the same behavior even after checking in a new change on the trunk.

Oh, well...

I am using git-svn version 1.5.3.rc1.4.gaf83 (svn 1.4.3), and I work with an SVN repository that is layed out like this:

/trunk/proj1/ ... /trunk/proj2/ ... /trunk/testing/ ...

/branches/proj1/ ... /branches/proj2/ ... /branches/testing/ /branches/testing/0000-baseline

/tags/proj1/ ... /tags/proj2/ ... /tags/testing/ /tags/testing/0000-baseline-0

I want to track the testing project, so I tried to use this git-svn command line:

git-svn clone <base-url> -T/trunk/testing -t/tags/testing -b/branches/testing testing

This appears to work, though I do get this warning message (edited for privacy):

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175002): RA
layer request failed: REPORT request failed on
'/<server_path>/!svn/bc/101': REPORT of '/<server_path>!svn/bc/101':
Could not read chunk size: Secure connection truncated
(https://<myserver>)

When I run 'git branch -a' in the new testing directory I get this:

* master
  0000-baseline
  0000-baseline@1546
  1.0
  1.0@1549
  1.0@1656
  tags/0000-baseline
  tags/0000-baseline-0
  tags/0000-baseline@1663

Where is the remote branch for trunk? And, why do I have remote entries for the defunct 1.0 branch that I deleted from svn earlier today? What's more, the latest changes from /trunk/testing do not appear in my working directory, and gitk confirms that master is pointing at the same commit as tags/0000-baseline-0.

If I just try to track the trunk like this:

git-svn clone <base-url>/trunk/testing

Then I get all of the latest changes and 'git branch -a' shows:

* master
  git-svn

So that seems OK at least. It just doesn't work when I try to get branches and tags. For now, I'll just work this way.

FWIW, I suspect this behavior may be related to recent changes I made to the Subversion repository. I created /branches/testing/0000-baseline today by copying an _old_ revision of /trunk/testing. Then I created /tags/testing/0000-baseline-0 by copying /branches/testing/0000-baseline. No commits have been done on /testing/trunk since then. Perhaps the recent (probably latest) commit that copied an OLD version of trunk is somehow confusing git-svn? Once I commit a change to the subversion trunk, I'll try to clone trunk, branches, and tags again and post an update to this message. Maybe it will work then.

Thanks for your help.
