git-svn doesn't fetch anything

[Harry Vangberg]

Hello

I have read access to a Subversion repo with standard layout at
https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool

Using git version 1.6.1.2 I would like to use git-svn, so I do a clone:

$ git svn clone https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool -s
--username=harry
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/h/work/projsvn/plantool/.git/

This may take a while on large repositories

I've been told that it is supposed to tell me a lot about fetched
revisions, but there's nothing. And the directory is completely empty
except for .git - here's my config:

$ cd plantool/
$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        ignorecase = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = plantool/branches/*:refs/remotes/*
        tags = plantool/tags/*:refs/remotes/

I would really like this to work, so if anybody has some pointers, please.

Hm, the branches and tags config looks weird to me. Is the path to them
really ".../turntool/plantool/plantool/branches"?

I wait until it is finished - but it never gets to fetching revisions,
it just exists quietly and returns to commando prompt.

The branches/tags config is what is generated for me. The path for
branches and tags is:

https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool/branches/
https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool/tags/

I have tried changing the config for these, but can't find the right
one. Anyways, not even trunk is being fetched.

I tried doing this:

$ git svn init https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool -s
--username=harry
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/h/work/projsvn/.git/
$

Then I changed .git/config to look like this:

$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        ignorecase = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://svn.turntool.com/svn/turntool/plantool
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/*
$

And finally tried to fetch it all

$ git svn fetch --all
$

It simply exists quietly, still without fetching *anything* and
leaving me in no branch, in an empty dir. :/

Is there a read-only guest account or something which could help us
track this down? Otherwise the answer will probably be "it should work
like that, it must be a weird repo".

Cheers,
