Migrating from subversion via git svn contains log entry, but not the file change in the branch.

Migrating from subversion via git svn contains log entry, but not the file change in the branch.

[magnuspalmer]

I've been working almost fulltime for two weeks migrating a subversion
repository to git.
Most repos go fine, but some doesn't and I'm running out of options.

Been trying to find posts regarding this and tried what I've found.

The subversion repo contains subrepos.
Layout is this:
tags
branches
<trunk is in root dir, contains only a maven pom.xml>
subrepo-a(with standard layout: trunk, tags, branches)
subrepo-n

Team is doing ongoing development in currently four branches (develop,
release-product-a-1.1, release-product-b-1.0, trunk). I'll deal with that
later.

What happends is that I get the svn log message, but the file is not the
correct one, or the file is completely missing suddenly.
git checkout develop
HEAD is now at 5269d17... increased version to 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.

The change in the file is not there, the old version number in the pom.xml.
I compare this with the one checkout out via svn.

git svn init --trunk='' --tags=tags/*/* --branches=branches --prefix=svn/
--ignore-paths="branches|tags|subrepo-a|subrepo-b|"
https://example.com/svn/theproject/client

Then I've tried:
git fetch
git fetch --no-follow-parent
turn on/off brokensymlink workaround
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround true

Also started at different revisions
-r XYZ:HEAD

For one of the cases (with svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround=false) I get:
Found possible branch point:
https://example.com/svn/theproject/client/branches/develop/pom.xml =>
https://example.com/svn/theproject/client/branches/release-1.1.0, 10623
Initializing parent: release-1.1.0@10623
W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013):
Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 6973, path
'/theproject/client/branches/develop/pom.xml'

And I end up with a:
remotes/release-1.1.0
remotes/release-1.1.0@10623

Any ideas of how to proceed?
I am getting short out of ideas.

What is the reason for the tags/*/*? I would expect a simple --tags=tags
here.

git svn that, I assume.

Do you use symlinks?

I assume you can't make that repo accessible, can you?

I've actually just edited .git/config and then did git svn init URL.
Found this easier for complex layouts, cause then you can control
everything that is happening.

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mingw-w64
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = {experimental,web}:refs/remotes/*
        tags = branches/releases/*:refs/remotes/releases/*
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn

Tried this, produced different result though, but not a successful one.

Answer to list failed, so typing it in forum instead.

Re: Migrating from subversion via git svn contains log entry, but not the file change in the branch.

[magnuspalmer]

Ok, I have a local copy of the Subversion repo not using svnsync to speed up
testing.

I also upgraded git and git-svn to 1.7.1
Svn is at 1.6.5

I do the git svn init as before, but with the
file://<path_to_local_svn_repo>
It is saying using higher level url, if that does anything?

I asume that this error message is what is causing my problem?

Btw, why do I get a @<revision> branch here?
remotes/svn/release-1.1.0
remotes/svn/release-1.1.0@10623


git checkout -b develop svn/develop
HEAD is now at 5012366... increased version to 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT

Version in file is not 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT as the log says and as it is in
Subversion.

Re: Migrating from subversion via git svn contains log entry, but not the file change in the branch.

[magnuspalmer]

Sorry for spamming, got it working with the following changes:

It turned out that removing the ignore paths entry for branches and tags did
it the trick.

Previously:
git svn init -s --trunk='' --tags=tags/*/* --branches=branches --prefix=svn/
--ignore-paths="branches|tags|subrepo-a|subrepo-b|" <repo_url>

"Working"
git svn init -s --trunk='' --tags=tags/*/* --branches=branches --prefix=svn/
--ignore-paths="subrepo-a|subrepo-b|" <repo_url>

I also had to change from --trunk='' to explicit
--trunk='file:///home/repo/svn-repo/services/project/clients' or else it
also created the branches and tags dirs.
