The progress so far is explained at . git svn fetch doesn't report any errors, and goes through the entire repository as regular as anything, but at the end about half of the root directories are missing. Even the file modified by the last commit is not there at all. Any ideas why this is? -- Victor Engmark ``` ## Sverre Rabbelier, 2009-11-14 17:25 Subject: Re: git svn fetch loses data Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/fabb9a1e0911140925r3f7b7806s65da03c046bf5ab4%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7d4f41f50911140907n285d72dcp7bbe802900f8bae5@mail.gmail.com> ``` Heya, On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 18:07, Victor Engmark wrote: > but at the end about half of the > root directories are missing. Can you be more specific, what is the layout of your repository and which directories are missing? / -- trunk -- branches -- tags -- thirdparty -- private If your repository looks like that, and 'thirdparty' and 'private' are missing, that's because git svn assumes that you're only interested in trunk, branches and tags by default. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier ``` ## Victor Engmark, 2009-11-14 19:29 Subject: Re: git svn fetch loses data Message-ID: <7d4f41f50911141129n967374ap7d92296c5723e31e@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7d4f41f50911141129n967374ap7d92296c5723e31e%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 6:25 PM, Sverre Rabbelier wrote: > On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 18:07, Victor Engmark wrote: >> but at the end about half of the >> root directories are missing. > > Can you be more specific, what is the layout of your repository and > which directories are missing? > > / -- trunk >  -- branches >  -- tags >  -- thirdparty >  -- private > If your repository looks like that, and 'thirdparty' and 'private' are > missing, that's because git svn assumes that you're only interested in > trunk, branches and tags by default. I'm not entirely sure which directories you mean - I've got none of those, neither in the repository nor the working copy. One of the directories missing in the top-level directory of the working copy is "Linux", which contains my .bashrc and tens of other config files. Which is really odd, because here are the last few lines of "git svn fetch --revision 993:1879": r1878 = 3fcec05426b59b0bad43b02cc3c367525d2c0b93 (git-svn) M Linux/etc/cups/printers.conf r1879 = 7ab92e8f4bb1a277621d67ba7373f56a694466c1 (git-svn) After checking this output a bit closer, it turns out only the directories and files that were retrieved by "git svn clone" (the first revision only) remain. Where did the files from the "git svn fetch" go? Do I need to run something after fetch to see them? -- Victor Engmark ``` ## Sverre Rabbelier, 2009-11-14 19:38 Subject: Re: git svn fetch loses data Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/fabb9a1e0911141138r5279650ge57db2413e2321a4%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7d4f41f50911141129n967374ap7d92296c5723e31e@mail.gmail.com> ``` Heya, On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 20:29, Victor Engmark wrote: > Do I need to run something after fetch to see them?

'git svn rebase' magically[*] picks the right remote branch to rebase against, and also first talks to the network to update said branch.

You can't, but in git-svn's default configuration (without --stdlayout) the cloned SVN history is called refs/remotes/git-svn. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch ``` ## Victor Engmark, 2009-12-11 08:32 Subject: Re: git svn fetch loses data Message-ID: <7d4f41f50912110032kd1990f9y9bb856576fc0437a@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7d4f41f50912110032kd1990f9y9bb856576fc0437a%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <200911152152.01513.trast@student.ethz.ch> ``` On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 9:52 PM, Thomas Rast wrote: > Johan 't Hart wrote: >> I didn't even know you could also do >> $ git rebase git-svn >> Unless git-svn is a ref... > > You can't, but in git-svn's default configuration (without > --stdlayout) the cloned SVN history is called refs/remotes/git-svn.
