Make sure that you point to the base-path of the layout like this:
git svn clone -s https://svn.isr.hp.com/rg0202/alm/horizon/trunk You can delete the other branches afterwards if you don't want to keep them. If they contain history of the trunk, you have to include them if you want the entire history, of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
