git - 如何克隆本地 svn 存储库？

Question

I am completely unable to find any explanation how I should specify location of existing svn repository.

In other words - what should be used as URL in

git svn clone URL

when svn repository is local?

Answer 1

You should be able to succeed like this:

git svn clone file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive

Similar to svn checkout command:

svn co file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive

file:// for folder on the current drive of the executing CMD prompt, file:///d/some_folder for D:\\some_folder .

Note: The extra / and the removed colon : in the file link on Windows. file://e:/svn_repo_on_E_drive → file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive

Answer 2

For a local repository you use a file:// URL, same as would be used for doing a checkout with the normal svn client.

If you're trying to copy the entire history, and using git svn clone --stdlayout just use the URL that you would use to checkout the trunk with svn minus the /trunk portion at the end.
