Hi,

I'm trying to clone a big repository.

I follow this steps:

git init
git svn init svn://svn.mydomain.com/path/to/repo -T HEAD -b BRANCHES -t TAGS

vim .git/config # edited the svn-remote config as follow (add /root to
branches and tag) to match the repo structure
[svn-remote "svn"]
       url = svn://svn.mydomain.com
       fetch = path/to/repo/HEAD/root:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
       branches = path/to/repo/BRANCHES/*/root:refs/remotes/svn/*
       tags = path/to/repo/TAGS/*/root:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*

git svn fetch

When I reach revision ~7500 (I don't remember the exact number) I get an error:

$ git svn fetch
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Core.pm line 584.
Authorization failed:  at /usr/bin/git-svn line 1415


After some debugging I found out the reason is something strange on
the SVN server: there is a folder in the SVN that give an error when
trying to access:

$ svn info svn://svn.mydomain.com/path/to/repo/BRANCHES/V2.1-A
svn: Authorization failed

The same error with svn list.

I don't know what's wrong with that branch but I just want to skip it...

I tried modifying the .git/config svn-remote configuration adding this:

ignore-paths = path\\/to\\/repo\\/BRANCHES\\/V2\\.1-A

and re-launching git svn fetch.

I had no luck.

Ho do I skip a path on the svn repository?

(I can't provide the real svn repo because it is password protected
and I can't give you the access)

Thanks,
Regards,
Daniele
