Here's the truncated output: $ git svn clone https://test-libraries-for-java.googlecode.com/svn --no-metadata -A ~/tmp/authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk test-libraries-for-java r1 = c3adafa93a420f19b1bcfb6765fe0eb90aaa751c (refs/remotes/trunk)        A       .classpath        A       .project        A       COPYING        A       build.properties        A       build.xml W: +empty_dir: trunk/src [...] r10 = 8d5d7fdebdb7f822388fd3e4f4061abbfd1fb0cf (refs/remotes/trunk)        M       test/com/google/common/testing/junit3/JUnitAssertsTest.java r11 = 4c8a77660bf353ed55c9d583b39e263203c685a4 (refs/remotes/trunk) Found possible branch point: https://test-libraries-for-java.googlecode.com/svn/trunk => https://test-libraries-for-java.googlecode.com/svn/tags/release-1.0, 11 Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1731. Use of uninitialized value $u in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1731. refs/remotes/trunk: 'https://test-libraries-for-java.googlecode.com/svn' not found in '' For completeness, here's the authors.txt file I'm using: $ cat ~/tmp/authors.txt zorzella = Luiz-Otavio 'Z' Zorzella (no author) = Luiz-Otavio 'Z' Zorzella ************** The same command works fine if I don't use the "-t tags" part, but then it does not create the tag branches in my converted git. Thanks in advance, Z ```
