Ya, I am aware of those flags, though I have not actually tried using
more than one --branches tag. Seems like a minor limitation in git
svn, that you can give it the root or base of branches to work on.

I don't think ASF is supporting any way to get changes back into the

I think there's some flag in git help svn (like instead of using
--stdlayout, you use --branches, --tags, etc.). Dunno if that helps
and you may have already looked at that.

How are you doing the initial git svn clone/fetch? When I tried git
svn clone for some of the wink paths, git started browsing the

of all of incubator so I quit that and was hoping there was a better
way.
I did an initial `git clone -s
https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wink`
And yes it did troll through the incubator's namespace for
revisions, but it
was quite quick as it could determine that most of the revisions
under
incubator/ were not relevant.
I just started a `git clone
https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wink` which I'm
hoping will
pick up 'contrib' and 'sandbox' as branches... but its taking a bit
longer,
could be due to my crappy ISP in Thailand though?
Dims also suggested later that once we have things in trunk, we
could
ask for a git mirror to be made to at least let git users more
easily
get things.
Oh, I didn't realize the ASF was supporting GIT yet, though I have
read some
muck about that on @infra*.
Once the mv from sandbox -> trunk is done then things are per-
normal, though
I'm still wondering what the best way to get GIT to do my bidding
is. I
work on many projects that have tree's other than trunk, branches
and tags.
If my experiment w/o the -s flag dosen't pan out I will just svn co
the tree
and apply the slf4j changes.
There are also a few other mvn pom.xml changes that can be done to
clean
things up some... though I hope that GIT will get in line soon! If
it
wasn't for the massive singletone ASF repo.... grrrrr
:-)
