I am trying to clone/fetch svn branch with git-svn:

git config --add svn-remote.stable-2012-03-29.url https://some_host/branch git config --add svn-remote.stable-2012-03-29.fetch :refs/remotes/stable-2012-03-29 git svn fetch stable-2012-03-29

which gives me this error message:
svn-remote.stable-2012-03-29.url already set: https://some_host/branch/ wanted to set to: https://some_host/
I know that I probably can fix this by re-fetching all svn-repo from scratch, but it will take months or even years (due to size of repo).
So, is there any solutions?

What does your config look like now?

You should have only one svn-remote with one url, but it can have multiple .fetch entries. To fetch all branches, you can also just configure its .branches.

Sounds like you should instead have only a single remote, along the lines of:

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://some_host/
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/git-svn
        fetch = branches/stable-2012-09-13:refs/remotes/stable-2012-09-13
or possibly, instead of manually listing the branches you want,
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/*

Re: git svn already set … wanted to set to:

Thank you, it seems, that you are right, and following works
1) I cloned trunk from scratch
git svn clone -T trunk/ https://some_host --revision 1104830:HEAD
2) Then add branches I want to fetch in .git/config:
fetch = branches/proj/proj-stable-2013-08-14:refs/remotes/proj-stable-2013-08-14
3) Then run
git svn fetch
wait for about 10 hours without any output from command (this was most difficult step due to absence of output), and after that git started to fetch revisions!
