Hello!

I am trying to import some SVN repositories available at Adobe
Opensource. Mainly I am trying to import the
repo of Flex. Only I am having trouble to get it imported into GIT.
The problem is that it keeps asking for the authentication
credentials.

I have tried the following commands:

git svn clone --stdlayout http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk

and

git svn clone --stdlayout http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/cairngorm

The results I am getting are as follows:

git svn clone --stdlayout http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk
Authentication realm: <http://opensource.adobe.com:80> Opensource
Subversion Repository
Password for 'albinotreefrog':

This keeps occurring until you cancel the command.

The information about the Flex SDK repo can be found at:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Get+Source+Code

Anyone happen to know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Weyert de Boer

I get the same results.
'git svn' tries to access http://opensource.adobe.com with is indeed protected
 by password.

It works for me if I do 
git svn clone  http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk
adobe-flex-sdk

Stefan
