Hi team, I am trying to migrate my SVN project to git, using simple git svn clone command. The conversion stops at some revision with error: 0 [main] perl 2287 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to perl.exe.stackdump So, I tried to resume the migration using git svn fetch. It runs for few minutes and again stops with the below error: Svndiff data contains backward-sliding source view: Svndiff has backwards-sliding source views at C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/share/perl5/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 312.
That looks like an error thrown from the SVN libraries which git-svn uses. Perhaps contacting SVN developers can help, since it's nothing I've seen before. I also have no idea about the quality of libsvn, Perl, or git-svn on cygwin or any Windows builds. Would you happen to have a Linux or *BSD machine to try "git svn clone" on? Thanks
