Git svn clone not working using a SVN repository
git, git-svn, repository
Solution
It seems that the problem was related to permissions in the folder, I've tried git svn clone in another folder in my Home directory instead of `/var/www` and it worked like a charm.
Here the complete command I've used:
git svn clone svn+ssh://<svn_username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> /home/<my_user>/<repository_name>/
Problem
In this way I can clone a SVN repository: ``` svn co svn+ssh://<username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> /var/www/<repository_name> ``` It starts to create the expected files under `/var/www/<repository_name>` I've installed the git svn package, and I tried to clone this SVN repository using GIT: ``` git svn clone svn+ssh://<username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> /var/www/<repository_name> ``` It gives the following error message and it doesn't download anything: ``` svn-remote.svn.url already set: ssh://<username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> wanted to set to: <username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> ``` I've also tried: ``` git svn clone <username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> /var/www/<repository_name> ``` Which gives the same error message: ``` svn-remote.svn.url already set: ssh://<username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> wanted to set to: <username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> ``` Also tried: ``` git svn clone ssh://<username>@<url>/var/lib/svn/<repository_name> /var/www/<repository_name> ``` And it gives the following error message: ``` Initialized empty Git repository in /var/www/<repository_name>/.git/ Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'ssh://<username>@<url>/lib/svn/<repository_name>' at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 2299 ``` Any idea of what I might be doing wrong?
