Hi list,

I am trying to access the logcheck repository with git-svn. Even though I can happily clone the trunk:

  git-svn clone svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck/logcheck/trunk git

as soon as I try to clone the entire thing with tags and branches:

  git-svn clone -T trunk -t tags -b branches
    svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck/logcheck git

it barfs:

  Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
  Using higher level of URL: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck/logcheck => svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck
  r19 = 95d0625b6c62935cfd3e44ec7dca5b6f6b05ab44 (trunk)
  [...]
  r20 = a3e5240dcc4d064b46273584800d3ae7a1e21330 (trunk)
  Found possible branch point: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck/logcheck/trunk => svn://svn.debian.org/svn/logcheck/logcheck/branches/VENDOR, 20
  Found branch parent: (VENDOR) a3e5240dcc4d064b46273584800d3ae7a1e21330
  Following parent with do_switch
  Successfully followed parent
  r21 = 0ffcb70923d77c1d24019362e1ed1cd18d05f235 (VENDOR)
  Malformed network data: Malformed network data at /usr/local/bin/git-svn line 1029

I think I'll be fine with *not* preserving logcheck's history when I move it to git, but thought best to let you know since this may be a bug in git-svn.

Cheers,

This is a known problem. If I remember correctly,it is save to just resume the import with git-svn fetch, and nothing bad should happen.

Just search the list archive for more info (sorry, I don't have a reference to the thread)

Just found it. Look e.g. here on the comment from Eric Wong:

Yeah, this seems to work.

Shame on me, I really should have done the research myself. I guess I am still too overwhelmed with git, but that won't last long, I promise.
