git svn clone: branches / tags with whitespaces not supported?

Dominik Rauch

We're currently trying to migrate a huge SVN repository Git (Atlassian Stash) using the guide at https://www.atlassian.com/git/migration.

However, we ran into the problem that the process stopped after about 3000 revisions with the following error:

Found possible branch point: https://svn/repo/trunk -&gt; https://svn/repo/tags/T a g with Spaces , 3018

W: Refspec glob conflict (ref: refs/remotes/trunk):
expected path: branches trunk
real path: trunk
Continuing ahead with trunk
[this block is shown 6 times]

fatal: Not a validobject name refs/remotes/tags/T a g with Spaces
cat-file commit refs/remotes/tags/T a g with Spaces: command returned error: 128

Unfortunately we are not able to rename branches/tags in SVN - is there any workaround / or even a fix you could provide? This is stopping us from migrating many of our legacy projects to the Atlassian Stash platform.

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for your question.

In order to accomplish the command successfully, I would kindly ask you to replace

'/svn/dev/test/tags/release 1.0/'
with 
'/svn/dev/test/tags/release%201.0/'

Kind regards,
Rafael

Where exactly should I replace that?

[ I cannot rename branches/tags in the SVN repository itself. If that is really required, the migration will most probably not happen and the repositories will not be moved from SVN to Stash :-( ]

I might have got the error above mentioned when running the command under the following link:

https://www.atlassian.com/git/migration#!migration-convert

Please, replace the suggest in the same command.

Kind regards,
Rafael

There is no space in the repository name I could replace, the space is in a SVN tag name.

My command looks like:

git svn clone --stdlayout --authors-file=authors.txt
https://svn/repo RepoAsGit

Sorry, maybe it is my fault, however, I don't see where to insert your suggested replacement.

Did some more digging, seems like we have to deal with a bug in subversion.

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3278

We are going to upgrade subversion to 1.8 and test it again.....

Rik Ribbers

After upgrading subversion to 1.7.9 the problem is fixed

Dominik Rauch

Server or client-side update?

Rik Ribbers

The upgrade was done on the migration machine (where the git svn commands are executed)
