Hi
I'm using git-svn for watching over SVN repositories in
svn.asterisk.org . The largest one there is
http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk .
This worked fine up until recently. I was using Debian Stable with Git
1.5.6 .
Recently I upgraded my system to Debian Testing with Git 1.6 (I
currently have 1.6.6.1-1). Today I tried to update the repository (git
svn rebase --fetch-all) and got the following error:
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/remotes/tags/autotag_for_.'.
IIRC it followed an automatic garbage-collection in the repository.
I decided to re-clone the SVN repository (I was planning on doing that
for quite some time, with a proper AUTHORS file this time. But it's a
repo of some 200,000 revisions and takes a few days to clone)
I eventually got the same error.
The specific revision that triggered it:
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk?view=revision&revision=47394
Should git-svn mangle SVN tag names to be legal git ref names? Or just
panic before it makes the git repo invalid?
Is there a way for me to skip some tags? I can avoid that specific tag.
Please CC your replies to me as I don't actively follow this list.

Here's one that did not work:
$ git svn clone -s --ignore-paths='^/tags/autotag_for_.$' http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk
I again stress that git-svn manages to fetch a faulty repository.
Another sub-question is: how do I remove that faulty reference git-svn
added?

have you tried --ignore-paths?
Sorry for the late reply. I don't follow this list (please CC me
replies).
Yes, I tried. See my other response in this thread. No luck so far. I
guess the next thing to try would be to ignore all of those autotags
(even though they are somewhat useful).
