Error when using Atlassian's own guide for migrating from SVN

Jesper August 29, 2024

Hi,

 

Issue

I'm migrating a SVN repo to Bitbucket/Git, using Atlassians own guide.
But I'm getting an error from their jar file: "error finding tracking ref for branch..."

This happens when trying to merge new changes from SVN with sync-rebase.
It doesn't matter if Git default is master or main. 

Does anybody know how to fix this?

 

Why use Atlassian's guide/file

I'm using Atlassian's guide (https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-synchronize) because their jar file should be able to merge in new SVN changes, so you don't have to switch in one go. It would be super helpful if it worked. 

 

Alternative?

I'm sure Atlassian has forgotten all about this guide and file, as the file is 10 years old, so does anybody know of an alternative - that makes it possible to get changes from SVN and merge them into the local Git with history, so it can be pushed to Bitbucket?

 

Any help is much appreciated
