Hi everyone. I am using git-svn and I want transfer a repository using git
bundle create ...
Does anyone has the right steps to perform this task?
Currently I'm doing the following.

1- git bundle create  --all
2- git clone 
3- cd into repository's directory just created.
4- Add [svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://svn.swacorp.com/svn/commerce/trunk/commerce-project
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
into the .git/config file.
5- git svn fetch svn.

The problem is when I do the last step, I get ALL revisions with out
considering the revision included into the bundle.

Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance

Clone will only clone what's in refs/heads of the bundle. In your case,
you also want the refs/remotes/git-svn branch (which is probably the
same as the "master" you bring across in the bundle).

So you could do this in the cloned repo:

  git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn master

And then your svn fetch should be much faster.

But note that git-svn also keeps some magic cache in .git/svn. If you
bring that information across, too, the initial fetch would probably be
faster. So I really wonder if what you want instead of bundle is to
simply tar up the .git directory of the original repo and copy the whole
thing to your destination.
