I had the same issue, I solved it with http://minimalreadership.blogspot.com.ar/2011/06/svn-switch-for-git-svn-repo.html Note that my .git/config is [svn-remote "svn"] url = https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf fetch = openoffice/trunk:refs/remotes/trunk branches = openoffice/branches//*:refs/remotes/* tags = openoffice/tags//*:refs/remotes/tags/* Before applying that solution, the fetch, branches and tags had incubator/ooo instead of openoffice. IIRC I cloned it in the first time with this command: git svn clone \ --trunk=https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk \ --tags=https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/tags \ --branches=https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/branches \ --revision 1162288:HEAD \ https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk Note that pure git clones from this local git-svn repo where broken after applying the solution, I had so many merge conflicts that it was easier to create a new clone from the fixed git-svn and apply the patches (git format-patch, then git am).
