Hi,
I recently tried to update my git-svn repository for Inkscape via "git-svn rebase" as usual. It downloaded the latest commits but when it seemed to be almost finished (at rev. 20147, to be exact), it threw the following error:
==> Found possible branch point: https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk => https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk, 20227 Initializing parent: git-svn@...2085... W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (175007): HTTP Path Not Found: REPORT request failed on '/svnroot/inkscape/!svn/bc/4302/inkscape/trunk': '/svnroot/inkscape/!svn/bc/4302/inkscape/trunk' path not found W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. This may take a while on large repositories <==
Then it started to download _all_ revisions beginning from rev. #1 (dated Oct 2003)!! It looks like git-svn got confused by some branching or so. Has somebody else who uses git-svn experienced this?
Another strange thing: I downloaded a fresh checkout using svn only (not git-svn), and the revision numbers in the log jump from #19921 directly to #20226, although clearly there were other commits in between. The log entry for #20226 says something about merging a branch. Could it be that accidentally some revisions got lost in the process and that this is also what confuses git-svn? How can it be fixed?
Thanks, Max
