Hi, That was just a warning message (hence "W:"). If the path you're tracking did not have a revision between r0 - r100 in the repository; then it'll spew that warning once (it used to spew it a lot more). git-svn looks at old history in chunks starting at the beginning of the repository to avoid pulling (potentially) hundreds of thousands of revisions + filenames into memory all at once. As long as git-svn started importing revisions when the project started, everything should be alright. I just dug up cfbe7ab333d68790eb37341e30f040f99cef6af7 and that should've escaped everything that needs to be urlencoded for HTTP(S). (you were also the one that noticed the need for that one, too :). I also just noticed that changeset didn't make it into 1.5.3.7 nor maint, however... Junio: if there are plans for 1.5.3.8, could you please add cfbe7ab333d68790eb37341e30f040f99cef6af7 to it? Thanks. -- Eric Wong ``` ## Eric Wong, 2008-01-07 10:40 Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: clarify the "Ignoring error from SVN" piece Message-ID: <20080107104040.GA1594@soma> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080107104040.GA1594%40soma In-Reply-To: <20080107103040.GA28557@soma> ``` I've heard of several users puzzled by this, and it sometimes it appears as if git-svn is doing nothing on slower connections and larger repositories.

Thanks. Surely I can cherry pick that commit. Are you sure the test in it (t9118) does not depend on any other new features that appear on 'master'? ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2008-01-08 00:28 Subject: Re: [PATCH] git-svn: clarify the "Ignoring error from SVN" piece Message-ID: <7vir25xirf.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vir25xirf.fsf%40gitster.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <20080107104040.GA1594@soma> ``` Will apply to 'maint' ;-) ```
