Hi,

One of the repositories I have been tracking with git-svn was reorganized and the path that I have been tracking is now in a new location.

I was hoping that the following would work:

   git clone orig new
   cd new
   git svn rebuild $NEW_URL

I also tried

   git svn rebuild --remote $NEW_URL

This have some output that looked reasonable (svn rev nums and git sha1's). But git svn fetch does nothing and I don't seem to have any of the new content. Am I using this incorrectly?

I guess I can create a fresh git repos using git-svn init and then fetch all of my dev branches from the original repository.

git version 1.4.4.1.g03c8-dirty (no changes to git-svn)

Thanks,
