Re: git svn clone failing

It seems to me that this happens while git-svn is searching for history.
As far as I have understood git-svn searches hierarchical higher paths
for history in other places than specified.
I guess while trying to access all those paths some path is tried that
returns 403 Forbidden.
My assumption is that git-svn takes this as cause to abort instead of
ignoring this return state what would be appropriate in this case I
think.

Drew?

I have no idea. If anybody else on the list does I'd welcome it, but I
don't have any more time I can spend on this.
