I don't know what this is supposed to mean. It also doesn't sound like you should be bothering any environment variables. > git clone /master/git/git /working/git/git > > worked and I am able to use the above to pull every thing for git, but the > tools to convert cvs, hg and svn do not seem to work. "X doesn't seem to work" is not a good description of a problem. "I tried X and expected Y but got Z" is how you should describe your problems, with verbatim but concise cut/paste of X and Z input and output. As an example, did you try: git svn clone /master/svn /working/svn i.e., the first line under "Basic Examples" in the git svn manual page? Backing up a step, though, the point of what you're doing is unclear. Why bother with /master/svn, rather than just cloning the remote repo? Bob
