When I removed it, it started copying everything. This shouldn't have been a problem, though, because the SVN repository has a standard structure (trunk, branches and tags directories). Anyone have any idea why this would fail?

It never actually copied out any files before I had to kill it because it was going to take too long for our entire SVN repository. So I tried to scope it down to a particular directory tree, and saw this: ------------ $ git svn clone --username babka@us.ibm.com http://wbsfsvn.austin.ibm.com/svn/wbsf/branches/mediterranean/core branches/mediterranean/core Initialized empty Git repository in c:/GIT/branches/mediterranean/core/.git/ W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007): HTTP Path Not Found: REPORT request failed on '/svn/wbsf/!svn/bc/100/branches/mediterranean/core': '/svn/wbsf/!svn/bc/100/branches/mediterranean/core' 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 Path '' was probably deleted: HTTP Path Not Found: REPORT request failed on '/svn/wbsf/!svn/bc/18770/branches/mediterranean/core': '/svn/wbsf/!svn/bc/18770/branches/mediterranean/core' path not found Will attempt to follow revisions r18701 .. r18770 committed before the deletion babka@CUBEARS /c/GIT ------------- There is nothing but a .git directory. Revision 18770 does not yet exist - the last revision is 18769, so I'm not sure why it is complaining about that. Is there something else I need to do in order to get the git svn integration working? Is there a problem with git-svn when the SVN repository is version 1.5.5? Jim Babka. ```
