Git-TFS克隆存储库有问题

Question

I'm trying to migrate a repository from TFS 2010 to Git.

This is a relatively large TFS server. When I try and clone Trunk it says it does not exist. When I try one of the other branches it says I am going to clone the whole repository or too high in the repository path. If I go lower int he path it says it does not exist or same error.

Ultimately I need to migrate this entire project over to GIT. I am currently using git-tfs to try and do the migration.

I tried cloning a specific branch which appeared to work but only got a few revisions then when I did git tfs branch --init --all and it said it was not a branch.

As explained in the documentation , you can use the command list-remote to find the root branch of your TFS repository.

Before trying to clone all your branches, you must also be sure to have converted all theses branches from "folder" to "branches" (even the deleted ones). Seems to be part of your problem....

I hope that's your only problem because not all the (very strange) things TFS permit are supported in the released version. Perhaps you will have to look at git-tfs forum where there is work in progress to support more cases. You will have to build your own version if that's the case.

PS: You haven't given us enough data to solve your problem. Update the question with the result of the list-remote command and the git-tfs command you used...
