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 -- OpenPGP key: http://issaris.org/~takis/takis_public_key.txt fingerprint: 6571 13A3 33D9 3726 F728 AA98 F643 B12E ECF3 E029 ``` ## Matthias Urlichs, 2005-11-17 17:05 Subject: Re: [BUG] git-svnimport doesn't import actual code Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pan.2005.11.17.17.05.21.780279%40smurf.noris.de In-Reply-To: <20051117160645.GA26871@lumumba.uhasselt.be> ``` Hi, Panagiotis Issaris wrote: > git-svnimport -v svn://svn.berlios.de/rtnet/trunk 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".
