I want to do something of the form c:\temp> git svn clone "file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1" but get various failures. My best-effort (above) gets me as far as actually starting some sort of clone but it dies with """ Permission denied: Can't open '/tmp/report.tmp': Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 1210 """ If it makes any difference, this is within a cmd.exe shell (with $PATH set appropriately so git is being found). Am I missing something in the URL syntax to get it to clone my svn repo with less drama? -tkc PS: I don't really care much about pushing back to svn, existing svn branches or tags, or username mapping. If needed, I can apply patches out of git which is far less painful than switching/merging branches in svn. So I can be a little rough-shod with cloning the svn repo. PPS: in case it matters: C:\work\utils\temp\ios>git version git version 1.8.3.msysgit.0 .
