Git-svn problem

Question

Is it possible to clone a git repository that has multiple versions? We tried to do this, and after the 1000th commit, it makes a GC and exits, leaving the clone in an unusable state.

You may also run "git gc" manually. See "git help gc" for more information. Counting objects: 18103, done. Compressing objects: 61% (10590/17116) 7116) Compressing objects: 100% (17116/17116), done.

Trying to continue the test by entering the command again results in the following:

 root@host :~/repo# git svn clone https://host/svn/repo Remote ref refs/remote/git-svn is tracked by "svn-remote.svn.fetch=:refs/remotes/git-svn" and "svn-remote.svn.fetch=:refs/remotes/git-svn" Please resolve this ambiguity in your git configuration file before continuing 

Answer 1

Worked out an answer. There must be some kind of error when using the git version that comes with ubuntu. The following line appeared twice in the newly created .git / config file:

 svn-remote.svn.fetch=:refs/remotes/git-svn svn-remote.svn.fetch=:refs/remotes/git-svn 

Removing the duplicate allowed me to introduce a git svn fetch , which seems to be continuing the check.

Answer 2

Yes. It should work fine. I cloned the Mono project repository (over 140 thousand revisions) using the following commands:

 $ mkdir mono $ cd mono $ git init $ git svn init svn+ssh:// [e-mail] /source $ git config svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk/mono:refs/remotes/git-svn/trunk $ git config svn-remote.svn.branches branches/*/mono:refs/remotes/git-svn/branches/* $ git config svn-remote.svn.tags tags/*/mono:refs/remotes/git-svn/tags/* $ git fetch git://repo.or.cz/mono.git refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/git-svn/trunk refs/heads/branches/*:refs/remotes/git-svn/branches/* refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/git-svn/tags/* $ git reset --hard git-svn/trunk 

and everything went fine. Does this look like what you are doing?

Answer 3

It was a lot to me. I repeated the same git command again, and it continued from where it was stopped. In the end, it comes to the end, and everything works.

Edit: if this problem occurs when running git svn clone ... , then when you run the command again, you want to replace clone with fetch .
