Hello,

I'm having some problems importing CouchDB from the Apache SVN repository. Here's what I get:

$ rpm -q subversion-perl
subversion-perl-1.4.6-7.x86_64
$ git --version
git version 1.5.5.1
$ git svn init -s http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/couchdb
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
Using higher level of URL:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/couchdb =>
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf
$ git svn fetch
W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175002): RA
layer request failed: REPORT request failed on
'/repos/asf/!svn/bc/100': REPORT of '/repos/asf/!svn/bc/100': 200 OK
(http://svn.apache.org)
W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching
aggressively for old history.
This may take a while on large repositoriesRA layer request failed:
REPORT request failed on '/repos/asf/!svn/vcc/default': REPORT of
'/repos/asf/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (http://svn.apache.org) at
/usr/bin/git-svn line 3833

Could the problem be that the Apache SVN repository has a large number of commits but there are only a handful that apply to CouchDB. From looking at the logs it appears that the following commits are relevant to CouchDB:

642432, 642445, 642448, 642450, 642660, 642672, 642768, 642775, 642789, 642848, 642965, 643203, 643556, 644444, 644593, 644594, 644649, 644674, 644964, 645171, 645661, 645675, 646163, 646734, 647314, 648023, 648033, 648037, 648039, 648050, 648054, 648060, 648069, 648074, 648081, 648222, 649048, 649948, 649988, 650275, 650705, 650721, 650729

Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong here? I have plenty of memory on this system (4Gb) so I don't think that's the problem.

Jeff

Works for me using git svn clone. git svn init fails for me, too.

$ git --version
git version 1.5.5.1.57.g5909c
$ git svn clone http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/couchdb
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007):
HTTP Path Not Found: REPORT request failed on
'/repos/asf/!svn/bc/100/incubator/couchdb':
'/repos/asf/!svn/bc/100/incubator/couchdb' path not found
W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching
aggressively for old history.
This may take a while on large repositories

(wait!!)

Checked out HEAD:
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/couchdb r650729

Then use get svn fetch && git svn rebase to get updates.

Huh, I see the same thing. Anyone have any clues? I normally use "git svn init", edit the .git/config to customize what's getting pulled and then use "git svn fetch" from there, so I'm not usually using "git svn clone".
