We're pretty much stuck with subversion over here, yet a few colleagues would like to try Git. The Git-Book has a note that it might make sense to create a git-svn clone and have others git clone that one - too bad it doesn't explain how (altho one could think the obvious). There are tutorials and steps available elsewhere, like on the Git Wiki<https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitFaq#How_do_I_mirror_a_SVN_repository_to_git.3F>or various <http://kris.me.uk/2010/10/01/svn-master-with-git-mirrors.html> other <http://www.tfnico.com/presentations/git-and-subversion> blogs.
All of them have the same problem (at least for me); and its described in some other blog i found on google: http://kearneyville.com/2009/07/09/speeding-up-git-svn-for-several-users/ Too bad his solution didn't work for me. On client side, i'm doing this to test my setup: D:\_git>git clone -o svn git://debian-esxi/svn/Utils utils-test Cloning into 'utils-test'...[...] D:\_git>cd utils-test D:\_git\utils-test>git svn init --prefix=svn/ -s http://linux01/svn/tci/Utils Using higher level of URL: http://linux01/svn/tci/Utils => http://linux01/svn/tci D:\_git\utils-test>git svn rebase Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history The last step never works; regardless if I update-ref/symbolic-ref git-svn files in various locations or not (like git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn HEAD or git update-ref refs/remotes/svn/git-svn HEAD). I compared the git clone with a complete git-svn clone and ended up with the exact same git sandbox; except the .rev_map file. Someone else said that the .rev_map will be rebuilt by running either git-svn fetch or rebase; but I never get that far. Does anyone have some pointers on what else I could try to get this working? I'd really like to share my colleagues of having to go through days of cloning from the original 30k+ revs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
