How do I clean up completely after SVN -> Git migration?
git, git-svn
Solution
Deleting the remote tracking branch would be a good start:
git branch -d -r svn/trunk
Other advices are available at "How do you stop tracking a remote branch in git?". But to really clean, you may have to do other operations (based on `git gc` for instance) as mentioned in "How to remove unreferenced blobs from my git repo".
Problem
I've migrated a repo from SVN to Git using `svn2git` and am happy with everything apart from one thing. How can I remove the `remotes/svn/trunk` branch that shows in `git branch -a`: ``` $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/master remotes/svn/trunk ``` I cleaned up after `svn2git` by doing the following: ``` git config --remove-section svn-remote.svn git config --remove-section svn rm -rf .git/svn ``` But I still have the `remotes/svn/trunk` sitting there! I get this if I grep the `.git` directory for `svn`: ``` $ grep -R svn .git .git/info/refs:e6dd7a08d86d9b0944891755602b25ce12d30bb0 refs/remotes/svn/trunk Binary file .git/objects/pack/pack-10cdd522d8f0fcc9b30efeddbdad3d0281c1e6da.pack matches .git/packed-refs:e6dd7a08d86d9b0944891755602b25ce12d30bb0 refs/remotes/svn/trunk ``` Am I safe to go into those files and remove the references or is there a cleaner way to get rid of that old cruft?
