This may take a while on large repositories I've been told that it is supposed to tell me a lot about fetched revisions, but there's nothing. And the directory is completely empty except for .git - here's my config: $ cd plantool/ $ cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true ignorecase = true [svn-remote "svn"] url = https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk branches = plantool/branches/*:refs/remotes/* tags = plantool/tags/*:refs/remotes/ I would really like this to work, so if anybody has some pointers, please. ``` ## Björn Steinbrink, 2009-02-05 03:36 Subject: Re: git-svn doesn't fetch anything Message-ID: <20090205033638.GD28280@atjola.homenet> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090205033638.GD28280%40atjola.homenet In-Reply-To: <941ff7dd0902041549y238f8460m3e1173cee6f44328@mail.gmail.com> ``` On 2009.02.05 00:49:10 +0100, Harry Vangberg wrote: > I've been told that it is supposed to tell me a lot about fetched > revisions, but there's nothing.

Is the path to them really ".../turntool/plantool/plantool/branches"?

I wait until it is finished - but it never gets to fetching revisions, it just exists quietly and returns to commando prompt. The branches/tags config is what is generated for me. The path for branches and tags is: https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool/branches/ https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool/tags/ I have tried changing the config for these, but can't find the right one. Anyways, not even trunk is being fetched. ``` ## Harry Vangberg, 2009-02-05 08:54 Subject: Re: git-svn doesn't fetch anything Message-ID: <941ff7dd0902050054v51853a4bgad1dca9211bcd75a@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/941ff7dd0902050054v51853a4bgad1dca9211bcd75a%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20090205033638.GD28280@atjola.homenet> ``` 2009/2/5 Björn Steinbrink : > Hm, the branches and tags config looks weird to me.

I tried doing this: $ git svn init https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool -s --username=harry Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/h/work/projsvn/.git/ $ Then I changed .git/config to look like this: $ cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true ignorecase = true [svn-remote "svn"] url = https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/* tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/* $ And finally tried to fetch it all $ git svn fetch --all $ It simply exists quietly, still without fetching *anything* and leaving me in no branch, in an empty dir. :/ ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2009-02-05 11:08 Subject: Re: git-svn doesn't fetch anything Message-ID: <498AC8AA.5040902@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/498AC8AA.5040902%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: <941ff7dd0902050054v51853a4bgad1dca9211bcd75a@mail.gmail.com> ``` Harry Vangberg venit, vidit, dixit 05.02.2009 09:54: > 2009/2/5 Björn Steinbrink : >> Hm, the branches and tags config looks weird to me.

Otherwise the answer will probably be "it should work like that, it must be a weird repo". Cheers, Michael ```
