Recently I am working on migrating one of my SVN repository to Git. I am able to do so if I use my svn repository on internet. But the repository is too big (It has over 60000 commits) so it is taking a very long time to do so. The internet gets disconnected in between then I have to start over. So, I thought to clone the svn repo onto my local and then clone the local svn repo to local git repo. BUT I am only able to clone SVN repo to my local and unable to clone it to local git repo. I am using git-svn to do so. I am getting the following error.

“Can't create session: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///c:/gitMigr/repo-svn': Unable to open repository 'file:///c:/gitMigr/repo-svn' at C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 310.”

I already have the authors.txt file in my directory. I am using the following command:

git svn clone file:///c:/gitMigr/repo-svn --no-metadata -A authors.txt --stdlayout temp

Note: "temp" is my local git repo name in which I want to clone the svn repo. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

install subversion locally in order to import your dump, then with git-svn package.

You can use git svn clone file:///path/to/svn/repo /path/to/empty/dir
