Re: Problem using git svn clone

Let me clarify. When trying to check out the module with tags, the first

info on this below.

If you see the output of the revisions being pulled from svn this
seems very odd.  Does a 'du -sh' in the created directory confirm no
data is there?  Are you sure it isn't just a matter of nothing getting
checked out for you?

The second case works as I expected it, I included it as reference, and to
show that it worked (probably not the smartest thing to do I guess).  Hence,
probably just the first example is of interest.

The situation is as follows:

I plan to use git and git svn to track a module in the middle of a SVN
repository (which I have no control over) where I don't have read
access more than to this specific module and the base directory, ie
the layout is similar to this
      https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c/trunk
      https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c/tags
      https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c/branches
and I have read access to https://svm.foo.bar/a,
https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c and below, but nothing else.

What I want to do is clone the whole thing, including tags and
branches.  I expected to be able to use the following command to do
this (git v1.5.2):

$ git svn clone https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c -T trunk -t tags -b branches

Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
Using higher level of URL: https://svn.foo.bar/a/b/c =>

https://svn.foo.bar/a

However, it seems I just get the info about the revisions (shows up
nicely in gitk) but no content at all.  The config file reads:

I'm really sorry, I mixed up the config files. :(  So I actually get this
for the first example not the second:

[core]
       repositoryformatversion = 0
       filemode = true
       bare = false
       logallrefupdates = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
       url = https://foo.bar/a
       fetch = b/c/trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
       branches = b/c/branches/*:refs/remotes/*
       tags = b/c/tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/*

Which looks good I guess...  But to be a bit more clear about what this
actually gives me in the directory I just cloned to, and this is the
problem:

$ git checkout -f master

What's in .git/refs/remotes?

Does 'git checkout -b mytrunk refs/remotes/git-svn' work?

Already on branch "master"
$ ls -a
.  ..  .git
$ du -hs .git/objects
186K    .git/objects

A du of the entire .git dir would be more informative.
