无法将svn存储库（没有trunk）转换为git

Question

I'm trying to convert my svn repo to git, but I'm not having much success. The repository in question does not have anything like a "trunk". The layout is the following:

/home/svn/
      |--- /project1/
      |--- /project2/
      |--- /repos/project3/

And underneath those project folders are the files. No trunk, no branches, no nothing special. At the time that was all I needed, and now it's biting me in the ass.

I'm following this guide: http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git

When I run this command:

git svn clone svn+ssh://skerit@host.com/home/svn/repos/kiflea --no-metadata -A authors-transform.txt --stdlayout ~/kiflea

It says it has created an empty git repository... But I don't really want it to be empty.

I also have no idea what the following commands should look like, since my repository has a different layout.

Commands like git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/trunk or git config remote.bare.push 'refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*'

Answer 1

Just remove --stdlayout option. It means trunk/branches/tags structure.

Answer 2

If you have local access to your SVN repository, I would recommend you to use SubGit for conversion. There're a few simple steps:

$ subgit configure path/to/svn/repository
$ #edit path/to/svn/repository/conf/subgit.conf to specify "core.authorsFile" option to point to your authors-transform.txt
$ subgit install path/to/svn/repository

After that a Git repository will be created and the repositories will be in constant sync. Optionally you may run

$ subgit uninstall path/to/svn/repository

to turn synchronization off.

If you have no local access to your repository, you clone your repository with SmartGit . The effect will similar to "git svn clone" but such SVN concepts like ignores, EOLs-processing options, tags will be also translated to Git (the same I can say about SubGit too).

None of those solutions is based on "git-svn".
