First -- kudos to Eric Wong and company: git-svn can deal with the odd
errors and invalid chunks of XML or UTF-8 that SVN spits at me every
once in a while. And it "just works" in 99% of the situation. Great
stuff.

Now... on to my 1% where it doesn't "just work"... I am trying to get
a working svn to git gateway for Squirrelmail, and getting in trouble
with the tags setting...

  git --version
  git version 1.5.2.2.238.g7cbf2f2

For starters - it "just works" if I run
  git svn init  -T trunk -t tags -b branches \
   http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/squirrelmail
 git svn fetch

However, every tree (for tags, branches and trunk) is prefixed with
"squirrelmail" and commits to the toplevel "plugins" directory get in
the way. Also, I want the branches and tags to appear in more natural
places, so after init, and before fetch, I change .git/config to say:

   [svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/squirrelmail
        fetch = trunk/squirrelmail:refs/heads/svn/trunk
        branches = branches/*/squirrelmail:refs/heads/svn/*
        tags = tags/*/squirrelmail:refs/tags/svn/*

and when I do that -- trunk and branches do what I want, but tags
aren't imported anymore. :-/

cheers,
