`popen': No such file or directory

Hello, when I try to run svn2git https://my-repo/svn/project --trunk trunk --branches branches --tags tags , i get the following error which i can't seem to find any resolution for through google.

$ svn2git https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/project --trunk trunk --branches branche
s --tags tags

        Directory ""
        File "git"

any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Update : This error only occurs when i run that command in the msysgit git prompt. When I run this command in windows command prompt, it looks like it's going to work, until the end. Here is that error :

again, an issue with popen

I haven't done any testing in Windows personally, but earlier in your trace it looked like it was a filename length limit. Are you able to check out the entire repo from SVN fine? It may be a case of your upstream server using a different filesystem that could support longer names than your local one can.

Hey thanks for the reply.

Yes i'm able to checkout without problems. I'm running a local svn, on the same comp that i'm trying to run svn2git. When I run svn2git, I get an error @ migration.rb > IO.popen. I've been doing some research and it looks like it's something not right with ruby, even though I've updated the version & reinstalled twice... it doesn't seem to understand/like IO.popen.

I don't believe it's an issue with svn2git, though...i may be wrong

Have you managed to get past this issue? If so, do you mind if we close out the ticket?

[c0d3phined]

Hello there. No i was not, i decided to go with another tool. thank you though...you may close this ticket

[nirvdrum]

Closing due to lack of prerequisite info.
