I can init and fetch file with git-svn, but can't clone

Question

I read the manual and it said clone is Runs init and fetch.

But I tried this:

git svn clone -T http://svn.felspar.com/public/m-intercept/trunk/

then got:

fileparse(): need a valid pathname at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 405

And not any file was downloaded.

But when I used:

git svn init http://svn.felspar.com/public/m-intercept/trunk/
git svn fetch

All right. It works perfectly. I use the exact same URL.

Answer 1

The -T parameter expects the name of the trunk dir.

Normal usage would be

git svn clone -T trunk -t tags -b branches http://svn.felspar.com/public/m-intercept

to tell git where to look for trunk, tags and branches and map them to git tags and branches.
