"RA layer request failed: REPORT request failed" during git-svn

I've been trying to Git clone a Google Code SVN repository using the following command:

git svn clone --stdlayout https://wtorrent-project.googlecode.com/svn/ wtorrent-git

It gets as far as r11, then gives the following error message:

r11 = 6e04c0fb14aa3f6ab4d871eeed4a0526dc0e54d8 (refs/remotes/trunk)
RA layer request failed: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/vcc/default': REPORT
of '/svn/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (https://wtorrent-project.googlecode.com) at
C:\Apps\msysgit/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 5653

This error message was generated by the latest msysgit (v1.7.8), but I get the same error message from my Gentoo box too.

Solution

  • Revision 12 and hence 13, 14 are messed up ( someone added a branch trunk in branches, but later deleted it, and that confuses git-svn). You might want to do:

    git svn clone -r 1:11 --stdlayout https://wtorrent-project.googlecode.com/svn/ wtorrent-git
cd wtorrent-git
git svn fetch -r 15:HEAD
