I'm using SVN for source control which is hosted by a repository hosting company. I'm considering migrating this to Git and testing the waters of migration by trying to migrate to a local Git instance. I've installed Git Extensions v2.31 and installed the msysgit version that I was offered during the installation.
Once installed, I then clicked on the 'Clone SVN repository' option and entered in the SVN repo location and other necessary details. Clicked on the Clone button. I was then presented with the following message in the Process output window (I've desensitised some info):
c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe svn clone "https://foobar.domain.com/folder/name.svn" "c:/git/"
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/git/.git/
Error validating server certificate for 'https://foobar.domain.com:443':
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
Certificate information:
- Hostname: *.domain.com
- Valid: from Mar 18 13:23:06 2012 GMT until Apr 20 16:16:05 2013 GMT
- Issuer: GeoTrust, Inc., US
- Fingerprint: a2:36:f0:ae:8c:c7:a3:f2:be:98:b3:0f:2e:f8:3a:07:9a:94:90:81
At this point nothing else gets displayed, the progress bar is still indicating progress but nothing really happens. The issue seems similar to what is reported here: Git and SVN on Windows
However, I do not even get the option to reject/accept etc? Anyone got any ideas?
TIA
I would recomment you to try clone with SmartGit. Is has it's based on another engine, not git-svn or even SVN, so I think you won't get this problem. There're some more reasons to prefer SmartGit: it translates such SVN concepts like branches, tags, ignores, EOLs to the corresponding Git concepts, git-svn doesn't.
