You could give that a try. I am not sure, what you actually try to tell me here. How can I interfere in the complete "svn clone" process? Note, that the problem seems really to be caused by some obscure condition. We can actually clone some svn trees that contain empty directories and they are properly handled with a .gitignore file. However, some fail for unknown reason. I tried to recreate the situation with a separte non-critical svn playground, but was never able reproduce the problem. svn clone succeeded every time. Not very useful for an error report, I know. :-/ Cheers, Jörg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

(And I would not have seen this message if it were posted anywhere else). But I don't have much time or motivation to work on git svn since it's mostly made itself obsolete for me. --preserve-empty-dirs probably hasn't seen much real-world use and (IIRC) not something that could always be 100% reliable. Regardless of options, git svn does log empty directories, so there's also an obscure, probably equally-unused "git svn mkdirs" command which processes the unhandled.log files inside $GIT_DIR to recreate empty directories.

Re: git svn clone fails
Hi Thorsten, there's more fun though. GIT (2.4.6) fails differently if I add additionally the --no-minimize-url: % = [...] W: -empty_dir: trunk/src/test/serialization/com/elsagsolutions r40223 = 7983efa910e6cd606cc63a6b6b365048df1e11a9 (refs/remotes/origin/trunk) M src/main/java/com/scalaris/commons/lang/util/ArrayUtils.java r40261 = ecf4747a88073353c9731e6e69c079d66e7aac2d (refs/remotes/origin/trunk) M src/test/java/com/scalaris/commons/lang/util/ArrayUtilsTestCase.java r40262 = 96eda7427de3f1c082e88c23458be197a3b20a7a (refs/remotes/origin/trunk) M changes.xml A src/main/java/com/scalaris/commons/lang/net/MimeTypes.java r41127 = 00d0a652e5ef20c18b9d4764dd70383c1d10177b (refs/remotes/origin/trunk) M changes.xml Failed to strip path 'src/main/java/com/elsagsolutions/commons/lang/io/.gitignore' ((?^:^trunk(/| $))) % = the error in the Perl module happens only without that option.

That does not help when converting the Subversion history. It's failing long before HEAD of trunk. Add those to svn and force Git to create a nearly empty directory. That's what GIT normally does by default on its own. However, I cannot change the Subversion history. GIT has to deal with it while converting (and normally it does, as my test proofed with the demo Subversion project).

In other words, is there a way to make this reproducible for others? Actually I hoped, that my report raised some memories, because errors with this symptom had been examined before and some kind of fix has been added (according http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25353316/error-with-git-svn-clone) to GIT 2.4.x. However, it seems there's still an issue even in GIT 2.5.0 when the svn repo contains empty directories that have to be preserved ... If not, how could the problem be tracked down and fixed (from other people than you or somebody in your organization ?) Actually I am not sure. I tried to create a little dummy project in a Subversion test repository that contains also empty directories which have to be preserved ... but the conversion for it works flawlessly. Even if those dirs had been nested, renamed, moved and deleted. Any idea how to proceed?
