Following the advice of this tutorial , I cloned an svn repository which did not have the standard layout.
git-svn clone -s http://example.com/my_subversion_repo local_dir
The -s is there to signify that my Subversion repository has a standard layout (trunk/, branches/, and tags/.) If your repository doesn't have a standard layout, you can leave that off.
Being completely new to git, I did not realize that simply leaving off the -s option without supplementing the --trunk, --branches, and --tags options would leave me not only with a branchless repository but also with the entire head of the repository checked out (instead of just the head of the trunk).
Is there a way to "fix" my local git repository to behave as though I had created it with knowledge of the svn repository layout? Can I use git-svn init to reinitialize my repository? Because of the length of time involved, I'm hoping to avoid having to reclone from scratch.
This is similar to SO question "Cloning a Non-Standard Svn Repository with Git-Svn" , and I am not sure there is a process to fix the Git repo after that initial clone.
The deep clone is the official way:
git svn clone https://svn.myrepos.com/myproject web-self-serve
--trunk=trunk --branches=branches/*/*
But I like the encapsulation provided by svn2git .
Unfortunately, both those solutions require re-cloning from scratch...
