I'd like to do this as converting to git from svn (less than 6 months after converting from cvs to svn isn't an easy sell to management). We have a small team (~5 developers) and a fairly small project (a few hundred files). From a web site/wiki I found the following instructions (tweaked for my setup). I downloaded the latest release of git 1.5.2 and built it on RHEL box. Subversion version is 1.4.2. The repository and the git working directory are on the same machine (taking networking out of the picture). mkdir git_test cd git_test git-svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk "my URL" Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ git-svn fetch all tags were processed w/o error AFAICT; the first branch it tries to work on causes either a hang or a "Broken Pipe". I changed from an http:// to svn:// on the git-svn init and everything worked correctly. This would seem to indicate some type of problem w/ apache/httpd problem. I looked in the httpd logs and didn't see any errors. Is this a known problem?
