Question about git-svn

I have a problem using git-svn. Is this the right place to ask then?

I have followed Andy Delcambre's http://herebeforeatreplies.com/2008/03/04/git-svn-workflow.html, but it seems that not all my tags and branches are being imported from svn to (local) git. That is, 'git branch -a' gives much less output (about half) of the combination 'svn list http://repos/branches' and 'svn list http://repos/tags'. What's missing seems to be the newest branches and tags.

Hi, Yes, feel free to Cc me directly as well.

Are there branches/tags in subdirectories?

As in, do you have stuff in http://repos/branches/foo/* as well as just http://repos/branches/* ?

You'll need git 1.6.4 to handle that with multiple branches entries:

before:

	[svn-remote "svn"]
		branches = project/branches/*:refs/remotes/*

after:
	[svn-remote "svn"]
		branches = project/branches/*:refs/remotes/*
		branches = project/branches/foo/*: refs/remotes/foo/*

Just checking the obvious, you are running "git svn fetch", right?

It seemed the download terminated, for some reason. Running "git svn
fetch" again allowed it to continue. After a couple of days and
attempts, everything got downloaded. But it would be helpful if git told
me it had failed. As it was now, the end of a failed run looked like
this (a random selection):

There's no real indication that this failed. But "git branch -a" doesn't list 'master'.

However, as I said, repeating "git svn fetch" until very tired, made it finally work...
