使用svn2git转换本地Tortoise SVN存储库

Question

I'm trying to convert a Tortoise SVN repo which lives on a partition which is shared by my Windows/ Ubuntu dual boot machine to a git repo. I've created a new directory for the git repo, and tried svn2git svn://media/mpoint/School/OLD_SVN_DIR on the Ubuntu machine with no luck.

I've seen lots of examples where the SVN repo is server based, but I haven't seen any local examples. IE: svn2git svn://localhost/name-of-repo . If it helps, on the Windows side (where the SVN repo was made) the address was https:/John-T60/svn/OLD_SVN_DIR/ . I've tried this using the command svn2git https://John-T60/svn/OLD_SVN_DIR with no luck.

My SVN repo isn't very complicated, maybe 50-100 commits and just the master branch. Any examples?

How about simply workarounding this issues: Export your subversion repository via

svnadmin dump /path/to/your/repo > yourreporname.dump

temporarily install VisualSVN (which is a very easy to setup and use SVN repository), import your dump using their convenient GUI and proceed to convert your repository to Git as regular remote SVN repository.
