Something is strange, since I have the full repository, with all my local branches and all remote branches and tags in 341 MB as of today (with "git-repack -a -d" and "make distclean" with 'trunk' checked out). My directory layout is different, I only have one directory (I call it 'git-svn'), in which there is a '.git' dir of 148M ("du -h -s ." inside) and the currently checked out source within it (i.e. no separate 'tags', 'branches' and 'trunk' directories, e.g. 'autogen.sh' is just in 'git-svn'). Maybe despite what the documentation says, "git-svn clone" behaves differently from running "git-svn init" and "git-svn fetch" separately. Or maybe you have an old version of git or git-svn that behaves that way. $ git-svn --version git-svn version 1.6.3.1 (svn 1.5.1) Anyway, the commands I used (in the directory you want to be the root of the repository, like 'git-svn' above) are: $ git svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk --prefix=gna/ svn://svn.gna.org/svn/freeciv $ git svn fetch (It will take a long time to fetch all the revisions, just do the command again if it is interrupted by you or something else. Maybe you will need a "while ! git svn fetch; sleep 5; done" or similar for your shell. ;)) (I'm also not sure if you should use 'svn+ssh://synt...@svn.gna...' instead of just plain 'svn://svn.gna...', since I do not know if you will have to re-fetch the whole damn thing if you were to get svn write access some day...) $ git-repack -a -d $ git config branch.autosetupmerge true $ git-checkout trunk gna/trunk $ git-svn rebase Now you should be all set. I have no idea why your repository is so huge. It looks like it somehow copied the entire svn repository, and then just added a .git directory at its root. You do not need all of that, the laborious "svn fetch" should have grabbed all of the necessary information and converted it into git form. I hope I'm not crazy/stupid. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------- 信じられねぇぇ! _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
