Had the same issue and svn2git didn't work for me at all.
I managed to migrate using the steps outlined here https://gist.github.com/leftclickben/322b7a3042cbe97ed2af
Looks like git svn fetch failed. You can try to figure out why it failed by running it manually.
Current versions of GIT don't create a master
branch anymore by default, but a main
one. It might simply happen that your tooling is recent enough that svn2git
doesn't support this change anymore.

To add to the comment above, you may be able to get around this by running git config --global init.defaultBranch master
and re-running svn2git
. (make sure to change it back to main
afterwards if that's something you care about)
I'm attempting this currently, but it'll be another 16 hours before I know if it was successful, since this error occurs after the git svn fetch
. :)
It doesn't seem like my previous suggestion worked (after another ~16 hours).
I forked this repo and changed it so that it looks for main
now instead of master
– I'm going to try that, and anyone else is welcome to try it too: https://github.com/zedseven/svn2git
Hi @zedseven,
I've test your forked repo on my svn repo successfully after I update git to the latest version and add --nobranches
.
Thanks!!
Instead of getting into default branch name holy wars or a compatibility excretion contest by making a fragile assumption, I've found this pattern to work without modifying svn2git
:
mkdir {{your_repo}}
cd {{your_repo}}
git init -b master
svn2git ....
This has the advantage of not modifying git global defaults or changing svn2git which would require multiple layers of up- and downstream release processes to arrive as a standard system package. A more robust fix would be for svn2git
to check which branch git created rather than assuming it because it will break in environments where the default branch is something else.
using svn2git for migrating svn to git but getting below error,
