In SVN tags are just another URL. So when I clone a URL which points to a tag using git svn clone <url_of_tag>, I expected it to fetch the complete history of the tag but it does not. A git log after the clone shows,
<some_hash> git-svn-id: <tag_url>@12256 eaa63c25-6722-0410-8f96-99d88de8df57
git svn clone <url_of_trunk> works fine.
How do I clone a tag URL along with the complete history?
Considering that a tag, in SVN is supposed to be immutable (in that you should not do any more version in a SVN tag), it is not surprising that the git svn script doesn’t find many commit to create when reading the history of the SVN repo under a tag url.
