Question

I am trying to clone big svn repository to my git repository.
The problem is that rep. is too big and svn clone works too slow.
Is there way to clone only last N revisions?

Something like that:

git svn clone http://svn/svn/test . (from 200 to 400 revision)

or maybe something like that:

git svn fetch (20,30,40-50 revisions)

If it were a git repo, you could

git svn clone (url) --depth (N)

But it is non-trivial in SVN to find the revision number of “N revisions back”, unlike in Git.

So, you have to specify the revision number of the SVN yourself.

Alex has provided the right syntax.

git svn clone -s -r534:HEAD http://some/svn/repo

But it is easier on your head to remember and do the following:

# checkout a specific revision
git svn clone -r N svn://some/repo/branch/some-branch
# enter it and get all commits since revision 'N'
cd some-branch
git svn rebase
