So, is there any solutions? ``` ## Thomas Rast, 2013-10-29 07:24 Subject: Re: git svn already set … wanted to set to: Message-ID: <87iowgiloj.fsf@linux-k42r.v.cablecom.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87iowgiloj.fsf%40linux-k42r.v.cablecom.net In-Reply-To: <1771383029875@web26g.yandex.ru> ``` DimanNe writes: > 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). 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. -- Thomas Rast tr@thomasrast.ch ``` ## DimanNe, 2013-10-29 14:14 Subject: Re: git svn already set … wanted to set to: Message-ID: <87941383056091@web26h.yandex.ru> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87941383056091%40web26h.yandex.ru In-Reply-To: <87iowgiloj.fsf@linux-k42r.v.cablecom.net> ``` > What does your config look like now?
