hi Eric.

with git-svn from git 1.5.4.3, imports of the Gtk+ repository fail:

   git-svn clone -T trunk -b branches -t tags -r 19001 http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+
   Using existing [svn-remote "svn"]
   Using higher level of URL: http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+ => http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk%2B/http:
   No such file or directory: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/gtk%252B/http%3A': Could not open the requested SVN filesystem at /usr/bin/git-svn line 1352

trying the same for glib works fine:

   git-svn clone -T trunk -b branches -t tags -r 6601 http://svn.gnome.org/svn/glib
   [...]
   r6601 = 987f6388b211281d08fce0e63936d9e612ed4d4f (trunk)
   Checked out HEAD:
     http://svn.gnome.org/svn/glib/trunk r6601

looks like the '+' in the the http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+ repository name isn't handled correctly.

Strange, mine worked fine, other than:
 svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+

Cheers,

Harvey

I had somewhat similar problem with git-svn fetch to a repository created with 1.5.3.something failing issuing REPORT. I've tracked down the problem to commit f5530b8833bcaa423cd53d133d3de3fa0173fbf3 to git, reverting it seems to fix git-svn fetch for me. YMMV.

I tried to follow where/how URL escaping happens / isn't happening (there are issues like 'if (<unescaped url> eq <escaped url>)' around - mostly because repos_root is escaped) but couldn't get things working. :-/

It's a known bug which I haven't had time to track down and fix.

git-svn handles files and directories with '+' within the base URL you're tracking correctly, but somewhere along the way the base URL you're tracking doesn't work correctly for HTTP.

As Harvey suggested, use the svn:// repository for now.

Hi Tim, the HTTP repository should be fixed with the patch in
