I configured ignore-paths as follows:

    svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB.*

I expected this would exclude paths of this kind on the initial fetch:

    DB/.project

but when I run git svn fetch, paths of this kind actually do get pulled.

I have also tried:

    svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB

with the same result.

I am using git version 1.7.9.264

What am I doing wrong?

jon.

I have the same issue here. I'm failing to import multiple svn repository into Git and --ignore-paths provides me no cure.

One thing to be aware of is that --ignore-paths doesn't work across svn branches. I tried to ignore entire branches using it and it didn't work. I had to resort to importing chunks of revisions at a time, skipping the ones that created and merged branches I didn't care about.
