I’m trying to convert a local SVN repository to git using git-svn under cygwin and failing. This is what happens:
$ git svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk file:///cygdrive/e/repository/project
init: command returned error: 127
Any ideas?
I installed msysgit and it failed as well, but with a much better error message (Expected FS format ‘2’; found format ‘4’) which turned up helpful discussions on Google. It seems like git-svn can’t handle the local filesystem format of a current TortoiseSVN. The solution is to run svnserve and use the svn: protocol via localhost.
