Hi,

I upgraded to:

Quoted 1 line

git svn --version

git-svn version 1.6.2.5 (svn 1.5.6)

(svn 1.6.1 doesn't compile, see http://www.nabble.com/Re:-svn-commit:-r37415---trunk-subversion-include-td23170203.html :-( )

Now I create a git repositiory:

Quoted 1 line

git svn init https://myserver.com/repo

and want to fetch the latest revision (or a little bit in the past) with

Quoted 1 line

git svn fetch -r1234

But git svn rebase runs in an error:

Quoted 1 line

git svn rebase

fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
log --no-color --first-parent --pretty=medium HEAD: command returned error: 128

With earlier version of git-svn I could fetch only a few revisions. Now only

Quoted 1 line

git svn fetch

works. But it fetches *all* revisions (and this takes a while ...)

Is it a bug or a feature?

Thanks
Martin

Okay,
I found it:

Quoted 4 lines

and want to fetch the latest revision (or a little bit in the past) with

Quoted 1 line

git svn fetch -r1234

git svn fetch -r1234:HEAD

will do what I want ...
