git svn：克隆后没有远程分支

Question

I am trying to use git-svn for a svn repository. Unfortunatelly I can't seem to get it work.

As I clone the repository

git svn clone https://svn.tugraz.at/svn/reponame

I get the message that an empty git repository has been initialized:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/snooc/workspace/reponame/.git/

and

git branch -a

also just gives me

*master

These are my configs:

user.name=Stefan Falk
user.email=<a-valid-email-address>
push.default=simple
core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true
svn-remote.svn.url=https://svn.tugraz.at/svn/reponame
svn-remote.svn.fetch=:refs/remotes/git-svn

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You should've used --stdlayout option of git svn clone. This option makes git treat trunk, branches, and tags folders in a special way. Without it, git just mirrors naturally flat structure of svn repository.

What does the --stdlayout do in git svn clone?
