How do I migrate a svn repo to git

Question

Currently i have a problem while migrating a svn repo to git. I followed the documentation on Git - Migration zu Git[^]

So i used

Shell

git svn clone https://srvserver/svn/Produktion/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand --prefix "" --no-metadata --authors-file svn-authors.txt -s EmailVersand

Also i used the proposed 3 for loops to modify tags and branches.

But i see nothing inside the Repository, just .git.

While cloning i'm got:

Initialized empty Git repository in EmailVersand/.git/
Using higher level of URL: https://srvserver/svn/Produktion/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand => https://srvserver/svn/Produktion
W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 100, path '/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand'
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

I also tried "--no-minimize-url": Then i'm getting:

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: '/svn/Produktion/!svn/rvr/100/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand' path not found

What can i do?

What I have tried:

I checked manually the path with

Shell

svn ls https://srvserver/svn/Produktion/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand

and it shows me:

svn ls https://srvserver/svn/Produktion/VB/VS2017/EmailVersand
EmailVersand/
EmailVersand.sln
LogEmail/
SiB_Versand/

Solution 1

I'd suggest to read this: Migrate from Subversion (SVN) to Git - Azure Repos | Microsoft Learn[^]

There's few steps to do:
- Prepare a migration environment
- Convert the source SVN repository to a local Git repository
- Advanced migrations
- Update your workflow
- Reference information

I believe you did the first one, but you forgot to do the second one. :)

You mean, i should do the git svn clone inside the SVN Repo?
