I checked out origin/HEAD and origin/master to see what was there and I found they contained code from a subversion branch that was originally in the /branches folder. I noticed that this particular branch was the last place committed to in the svn repo. So I checked something into the /trunk of the svn repo, nuked the git repo, and ran the git svn clone command again. This time it worked as expected and "git branch -r" showed me all my tags and branches. ``` ## Boyd Stephen Smith Jr., 2009-01-14 22:04 Subject: Re: git-svn clone -s fails to setup branches in git if the most recent svn commit was not to trunk Message-ID: <200901141604.37208.bss@iguanasuicide.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200901141604.37208.bss%40iguanasuicide.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Wednesday 2009 January 14 15:27:01 Adam Soltys wrote: I already knew about this bug, but here is my "+1 please fix" mail. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ ```
