UPDATE:

I get the same behavior even after checking in a new change on the trunk.

Oh, well...

Subject: git-svn: trunk missing, checks out tag instead
To: git@vger.kernel.org


I am using git-svn version 1.5.3.rc1.4.gaf83 (svn 1.4.3), and I work
with an SVN repository that is layed out like this:

/trunk/proj1/
...
/trunk/proj2/
...
/trunk/testing/
...

/branches/proj1/
...
/branches/proj2/
...
/branches/testing/
/branches/testing/0000-baseline

/tags/proj1/
...
/tags/proj2/
...
/tags/testing/
/tags/testing/0000-baseline-0

I want to track the testing project, so I tried to use this git-svn
command line:

git-svn clone <base-url> -T/trunk/testing -t/tags/testing
-b/branches/testing testing

This appears to work, though I do get this warning message (edited for privacy):

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175002): RA
layer request failed: REPORT request failed on
'/<server_path>/!svn/bc/101': REPORT of '/<server_path>!svn/bc/101':
Could not read chunk size: Secure connection truncated
(https://<myserver>)

When I run 'git branch -a' in the new testing directory I get this:

* master
  0000-baseline
  0000-baseline@1546
  1.0
  1.0@1549
  1.0@1656
  tags/0000-baseline
  tags/0000-baseline-0
  tags/0000-baseline@1663

Where is the remote branch for trunk? And, why do I have remote
entries for the defunct 1.0 branch that I deleted from svn earlier
today?  What's more, the latest changes from /trunk/testing do not
appear in my working directory, and gitk confirms that master is
pointing at the same commit as tags/0000-baseline-0.

If I just try to track the trunk like this:

git-svn clone <base-url>/trunk/testing

Then I get all of the latest changes and 'git branch -a' shows:

* master
  git-svn

So that seems OK at least.  It just doesn't work when I try to get
branches and tags.  For now, I'll just work this way.

FWIW, I suspect this behavior may be related to recent changes I made
to the Subversion repository.  I created
/branches/testing/0000-baseline today by copying an _old_ revision of
/trunk/testing.  Then I created /tags/testing/0000-baseline-0 by
copying /branches/testing/0000-baseline.  No commits have been done on
/testing/trunk since then.  Perhaps the recent (probably latest)
commit that copied an OLD version of trunk is somehow confusing
git-svn?  Once I commit a change to the subversion trunk, I'll try to
clone trunk, branches, and tags again and post an update to this
message.  Maybe it will work then.

Thanks for your help.
