Git-svn with git extenstions stuck in authentication

Question

I am trying to check the svn repository through git, in the git extensions application, on the input screen I specify the http-url for the svn repo and the authors file that maps my svn user to the git user. I'm stuck in the "realm of authentication: Subversion repository"

What did I miss?

Answer 1

Double check the username and password and, ultimately, the URL of the repository you are using. I had an authentication problem: a problem because the IT administrator changed the password of the svn user.

Answer 2

It seems that the Git GUI Extensions are not receiving updated SVN credentials. Just run svn rebase from the command line:

Tools → Git bash

$ git svn rebase 

Here you can enter an updated password.

Answer 3

I hit my head about it for a while, but found out the reason

If you have a secure svn repository you should use

 $ svn2git http://svn.example.com/path/to/repo --username <<user_with_perms>> 

but it does not ask for a password unless you press "Enter". (and of course he does not give you any instructions)

In my case, we had a non-standard structured repo, so I used;

 $ svn2git http://svn.example.com/path/to/repo --username <<user_with_perms>> --rootistrunk -v 

- verbose or -v really helps btw
