Hi Zk W,

While I know nothing of svn, could you at least clarify when the 'gc' fails.

I think I've seen threads where the 'gc' is performed at the end, with an implication that the transfer had happened but the problem was afterwards.

You may also want to search the main Git List archive https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=svn

Hi

we have a big repo
we tried git svn clone (non-standard layout) and it failed due to gc failure
we tried
git svn clone -r222:500000 repo-url -T <dir>/trunk --author-file=file.txt --no-minimal-url repoDir

we then tried but we're unsure if below steps are correct to overcome the gc failure. git svn clone -r222:5000 repo-url -T <dir>/trunk --author-file=file.txt --no-minimal-url repoDir
cd repoDir
git svn fetch -r500:50000

When it completed, we found many files missing.
We checked
git svn show-ignore

It listed many directories

Questions
1) Are the steps correct as workaround to overcome gc problem ?
git svn clone -r222:5000 repo-url -T <dir>/trunk --author-file=file.txt --no-minimal-url repoDir
cd repoDir
git svn fetch -r500:50000

2) How to do unignore the directories listed/shown in git svn show-ignore ? We are afraid that missing files are not cloned because of ignore by svn and git.

Any help is appreciated
