Hi all,
I created a few months ago a git-svn repository using:
git svn clone -s https://my_svn_repo .
wich also created the following remotes:
git branch -r
branch0
tags/tag0
trunk
I would like to prefix theses remotes, so that it shows:
git branch -r
prefix/branch0
prefix/tags/tag0
prefix/trunk
Of course I should have used the -prefix back when creating the repo but
it's too late. 'git help svn' doesn't explain how to achieve that and
simply editing .git/config to add the missing prefix will cause the next
'git svn fetch' to download again the whole history (which in my case is
huge).
Is it possible? Did I miss something obvious?
Cheers,

Yes! Depends!
The following works for me:
0) fetch to make sure you're current (optional)
1) edit .git/config and add the prefix (right hand side of the
refpsecs), or really rename in any way you want
2) rename the existing remote branches in the same way
The next git svn fetch will rebuild the map file (which is fast) but not
refetch any svn revisions you already have.
Regarding the renaming: Either I'm dumb or current git branch can't
rename git svn branches. I guess it's because they are remotes but not
really. I had to resort to git update-ref. I'll look into that.

OK.

I'm not sure how I can do it. 'trunk' is the only remote-tracking svn
branches under .git/refs/. Here is how it looks:
ls -R .git/refs
.git/refs: heads remotes tags
.git/refs/heads: master
.git/refs/remotes: trunk
Still, a 'branch0' remote exist:
git show-ref
refs/heads/master
refs/remotes/branch0
refs/remotes/trunk

You can do (bash)
for b in trunk branch0
do
git update-ref refs/remotes/yournewprefix/$b refs/remotes/$b
git update-ref -d refs/remotes/$b
done
OTOH, any incarnation of "git -m" (with or without "-r", specifying
refs/remotes/trunk, remotes/trunk or trunk) failed.

That did the trick. Thank you so much!
By the way, my renamed remote tracking svn branches now show under
.git/refs/ as expected.
