--convert (which doesn't exist yet) would be a one-shot conversion that would drop all the SVN cruft from the resulting git repo. Since the conversion is once-off and no trace of SVN is left afterwards, that cannot happen. My initial interest in this bug report ends at proper behaviour for --convert, I'm not that interested in proper behaviour for git repos that are still tracking SVN repos, but I would guess that the git tags should get removed and branch heads added. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
