I am trying to clone a Subversion repository on git, but it continues to give me an error that I really don't understand:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/tags'
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/remotes/tags'.
update-ref -m r1649 refs/remotes/tags 16630eb01aa7abb331cdaa7ca07c1736656a058e: command returned error: 128
The subversion project has many tags and about 15 branches. It seems that every time he fails. I cloned a number of other projects just fine, it just seems to be stuck in this.
Any ideas what this error means, and how can I fix this problem?
Update:
I found that this is probably the cause of the problem, now I just need a solution. Firstly, every time he fails, this is not a completely different point, every time he refuses with a certain revision. And I checked the subversion logs during this revision, and I found that I was mistakenly creating a tag in branches / tags, not in tags. This was fixed immediately, but it seems to be causing problems in git-svn.
Any ideas what I can do to get around this?
