The clone command: $ git svn clone --trunk=trunk --tags=tags --branches=branches --prefix=origin/ https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2 -r 255346 The final repository's tag and branch list is empty. There are tags and branches, though - see the web interface at http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/ What am I doing wrong here? -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=- ``` ## Edmundo Carmona Antoranz, 2015-10-25 15:32 Subject: Re: git svn clone clone php/pear/Net_LDAP2 misses tags and branches Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAOc6etYvzv%2BMFyTXk0zU673b1GypyUbTOuiVyS35PS4ROFHztg%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20151025154325.36eddb4c@bogo> ``` Using -r single-revision-number (against tha same repo), I was not able to pull much (on that revision only the standard layout was set up so nothing would come out for git) Did you try with -r revision-number:HEAD? . . . r255572 = 73d7692d844ee6baae8b4b2e5fc0f07a4118d09e (refs/remotes/svn/trunk) M package2.xml r255574 = d1f380277cb6a4d096d71e3a83942bb17dabf041 (refs/remotes/svn/trunk) Found possible branch point: https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk => https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2 , 255574 Found branch parent: (refs/remotes/svn/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2) d1f380277cb6a4d096d71e3a83942bb17dabf041 Following parent with do_switch D LICENSE D tests/ldif_data/unsorted_w50_WIN.ldif Successfully followed parent W: -empty_dir: LICENSE W: -empty_dir: tests/ldif_data/unsorted_w50_WIN.ldif r255575 = d37158da793aee8692a6dca23870b9d2e3baaf18 (refs/remotes/svn/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2) M package2.xml r255576 = 05d71ac6543430b119232714334b3d836d20bfc8 (refs/remotes/svn/trunk) M package2.xml M LDAP2/Entry.php . . .

Good idea. I tried it, and now I have the tags and branches: $ git svn clone --stdlayout https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2 -r 255346:HEAD ... $ cd Net_LDAP2 $ git br -a * master remotes/origin/implementingPagedSearches_PHP5.4 remotes/origin/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.10 remotes/origin/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12 ... remotes/origin/trunk Thanks! Is there a way to convert the tags branches into real tags automatically? -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=- ``` ## Christian Weiske, 2015-10-25 18:48 Subject: Re: git svn clone clone php/pear/Net_LDAP2 misses tags and branches Message-ID: <20151025194851.793f8c64@bogo> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20151025194851.793f8c64%40bogo In-Reply-To: <20151025173033.28346d49@bogo> ``` Hello Christian, > > Did you try with -r revision-number:HEAD? > > Good idea.

If I take a look at another branch: $ svn log -v --stop-on-copy https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r255575 | cvs2svn | 2008-03-20 03:37:53 -0600 (Thu, 20 Mar 2008) | 1 line Changed paths: A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2 (from /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk:255574) D /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2/LICENSE D /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/RELEASE_2_0_0RC2/tests/ldif_data/unsorted_w50_WIN.ldif This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'RELEASE_2_0_0RC2'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We can see that it looks as if there was a single 'cp' operation for the whole root of the branch from trunk. And the log for that branch (on git) does show the history coming from trunk. On the branch you are talking about: $ svn log -v --stop-on-copy https://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r318475 | beni | 2011-10-27 07:49:00 -0600 (Thu, 27 Oct 2011) | 1 line Changed paths: A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12 A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net/LDAP2 A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net/LDAP2/Entry.php (from /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk/Net/LDAP2/Entry.php:318466) A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net/LDAP2/Filter.php (from /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk/Net/LDAP2/Filter.php:318470) A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net/LDAP2/LDIF.php (from /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk/Net/LDAP2/LDIF.php:318466) A /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/tags/Net_LDAP2-2.0.12/Net/LDAP2/RootDSE.php (from /pear/packages/Net_LDAP2/trunk/Net/LDAP2/RootDSE.php:318466) . . .

I guess that's what is making git-svn get "confused". I guess you could just create a real git tag on a new revision coming from trunk revision 318466, replace the files with the right revisions (the ones that were pulled from another revision) and live with it.
