Question

We use SVN here at the office and I’m experimenting with using git-svn for myself.

I created a directory in /usr/local/code/git and did my checkout to /testco.

I used the commands given in the man page, git svn clone , where is my repo.

It goes through a few hundred lines of all the files in the SVN trunk, but when its done the directory only contains a .git file. None of the other files are there. Anyone know what’s going on?

You need something resembling the following:

git svn init -t foo/tags -b foo/branches -T foo/trunk path_to_repo
git svn fetch
