I am trying to import my svn project into git with git-svnimport, but I am 
getting a bunch of error messages using the following command:

git-svnimport -C eastcoastmarine -v \
svn://svn.mintpixels.com/eastcoastmarine-website

I get messages like:
4: Unrecognized path: /trend-scripts/trunk/run_purge.sh

Is this expected, or should I be worried?

Alex

Let's deprecate git-svnimport, once for all.

git-svn should work much better.

Ciao,

It means that  you need to play a bit with your import settings. It
usually takes me a few tried to get the right trunk, tags and branches
parameter for each repo. SVN's layout is a bit too flexible and
doesn't make this easy to figure out.

cheers,

In other words, you volunteer to fold everything that git-svnimport can do into
git-svn? The last time I checked, neither was a feature-complete subset of the
other...

If so: don't let me hold you back. ;-)

May I ask what is missing in git-svn to replace git-svnimport? As I
can't think of anything which is missing in git-svn.
