Here: git svn --version git-svn version 1.7.12.592.g41e7905 (svn 1.6.18) What's yours? I'm getting Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/discovery/.git/ Using higher level of URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/discovery => http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Dateisystem hat keinen Eintrag: File not found: revision 100, path '/commons/proper/discovery' W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. This may take a while on large repositories and then it checks the revisions. I didn't want to wait for r1301705... Does your git svn abort earlier or after checking all revs? ``` ## Enrico Weigelt, 2012-09-15 10:07 Subject: Re: Failing svn imports from apache.org Message-ID: <974faf03-e8e6-4b98-81df-e2bd4d9ae77a@zcs> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/974faf03-e8e6-4b98-81df-e2bd4d9ae77a%40zcs In-Reply-To: <505302EB.8040600@drmicha.warpmail.net> ``` > > Does anyone have an idea, what might be wrong here / how to fix it > > ? > > Here: git svn --version > git-svn version 1.7.12.592.g41e7905 (svn 1.6.18) > > What's yours? 1.7.9.5 (ubuntu precise) > I'm getting > > Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/discovery/.git/ > Using higher level of URL: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/discovery => > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf > W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): > Dateisystem hat keinen Eintrag: File not found: revision 100, path > '/commons/proper/discovery' > W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching > aggressively for old history. > This may take a while on large repositories > > and then it checks the revisions.

If you have plenty of bandwidth, it might well be faster to: * Grab an ASF archive (16GB) * Use svn-fe to import the entire tree into git. * Use a simple script to extract the standard layout into a new repo. * Use git-svn to keep the new repo up-to-date. -- David Michael Barr On Saturday, 15 September 2012 at 8:07 PM, Enrico Weigelt wrote: > > > > Does anyone have an idea, what might be wrong here / how to fix it > > > ? > > > > > > > > Here: git svn --version > > git-svn version 1.7.12.592.g41e7905 (svn 1.6.18) > > > > What's yours? > > 1.7.9.5 (ubuntu precise) > > > I'm getting > > > > Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/discovery/.git/ > > Using higher level of URL: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/discovery => > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf > > W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): > > Dateisystem hat keinen Eintrag: File not found: revision 100, path > > '/commons/proper/discovery' > > W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching > > aggressively for old history. > > This may take a while on large repositories > > > > and then it checks the revisions.
