Hi,

When importing a Subversion tree into a GIT tree using git-svnimport I ended up with a git tree containing the number of expected commits, complete with logmessages and timestamps, but no files showed up. Using gitk shows me a large list of commits, but again, no diffs show up. Using "cg-log -f" shows all the commits, but no files are shown related to the commits.

This was the command used to import the Subversion repository: git-svnimport -v svn://svn.berlios.de/rtnet/trunk

Here's a screenshot of gitk viewing the GIT-repository: http://flickr.com/photos/takis/64214074/

With friendly regards, Takis

That's easy -- you can't svn-pull the trunk that way. (Note that you got a lot of "skipped" messages...)

Just drop the "trunk", add a "-b branches" if that repository needs it, and svnimport will handle it.

ASIDE: All the repositories in my import list need that flag, so I am
considering changing the default name from "branch" to "branches".
Objections, anybody?
