Hi, i want to use git on a large software project (~90000 svn commits with one revision ~1,5GB) - so checking out the whole repository is not possible. So what i tried was to checkout only one revision (head). This worked well for "trunk":
git-svn init http://addressofsvn/trunk git-svn fetch -r HEAD but if i run the following on a branch, nothing happens (no output): git-svn init http://addressofsvn/branches/branchxyz git-svn fetch -r HEAD running "git-svn fetch" (without -r HEAD) wants to checkout the whole repository (all revisions) - the output is the following: W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007): HTTP Path Not Found: '/svn/fsc/!svn/bc/100/branches/x/x.y.z' path not found W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. This may take a while on large repositories Found possible branch point: 'http://addressofsvn/branches/branchxyz' => 'http://addressofsvn/branches/branchxyz', 85590 Initializing parent: git-...@85590 W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007): HTTP Path Not Found: '/svn/fsc/!svn/bc/101/branches/x/x.y.z' path not found W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. This may take a while on large repositories Checked through r87580 ... but as said before: checking out the whole repo with all revisions is not possible would take years ;) -- can somebody help me? why i'm not able to checkout the head of a branch?
