I've encountered a bizarre file perm problem trying to use git svn in a repo on a shared Virtualbox folder. To get around this, I decided to have my git svn repo in a directory exclusive to the vbox client (Ubuntu), and sync that with a regular git repo in the shared folder space.
In my git_svn directory I clone subversion with ... $ git svn clone -s http://192.168.1.10/svn/project project that will checkout http://192.168.1.10/svn/project/trunk to project now, I go over to my shared folder space and make a git repo ... $ mkdir project $ cd project $ git init $ git remote add git_svn files:///home/smaring/project $ git pull git_svn master fatal: Couldn't find remote ref master and then, the interesting thing to note is that over in /home/smaring/ project, doing a 'git branch' suggests that there is no branch any thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
