I am trying to use git-svn via mysysgit in front of an entreprise subversion repository. This svn repo uses the http protocol, and requires an Active Directory authentication. I can't read on the entire content of the repo, I am just authorized to see my team's projects.
So I am trying the following command :
$ git svn clone http://enterprise:12345/svn/my_team/my_project1/module1 module1 -s --prefix=svn/
where http...my_team is the base url I can access usually with an svn client.
And here is the response from Git :
Authentication realm http://enterprise:12345 Subversion repository needs authentication against AD Password for 'yanflea':
At this step I enter my password and… nothing relevant happens. It keeps warning me about the needed AD authentication, and asks me again and again for my username and password.
I read on several forums that in such a case, the option --no-minimize-url was required. I tried to add it in the command but it didn't change anything. I am surprised because people who explicitly encountered this issue had a more verbose warning than me. Something like
Using higher level of URL: path-to-repo/myrepo/myproject => path-to-repo/myrepo (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1453416/git-svn-clone-checkouts-wrong-repo)
which indicates clearly that the --no-minimize-url could change something. In my case, first I don't have such a message, and second, the short url seems to be used whatever I add --no-minimize-url option or not. I really don't get it. Any advice is more than welcome.
Yannick.
