I have a local svn repository with a non standard layout, i.e., without trunk, branches and tags and with many "flat" projects. It's like this:
<repo root>/project1/<source files>
<repo root>/project2/<source files>
...
I want each project to get into a separate git repo.
I'm doing the authors conversion step 1 as described in this guide
and then using this command instead of the one in step 2:
cd <repo root>/project1/
git svn clone file:///<path to root>/project1 --no-metadata -T ./ --authors-file=authors-transform.txt ~/temp.git
I don't use the --stdlayout, because I don't have such layout, and I also use the -T option to denote where the trunk should be found for this repo. The step seems to run ok, and ~/temp.git contains the source files of the project. I can see the commit logs and the change in there with git log, git diff.
Then I'm executing next two steps as they are given in the guide. Step 4 gives the following output:
$ git push bare

* [new branch] origin/trunk -> origin/trunk
which I don't know if it's correct. Step 5 is then failing:
$ git branch -m trunk master
error: refname refs/heads/trunk not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Any clue what I 'm doing wrong? Is the use of -T in step 2 correct? And the no use of --stdlayout?
- [new branch] origin/trunk -> origin/trunk
You don't have branch trunk so you cannot rename it; you have origin/trunk.
