git-svn: strip off leading slashes on --trunk argument
The following command
git svn clone \
-r9500:10006 \
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages \
--trunk=/trunk/freedoom \
--branches=/branches/freedoom \
--tags=/tags/freedoom \
freedoom.git.
2009091
produces strange results:
With v1.6.3.3 (and perhaps earlier versions), this would fetch up to
and including r9978 (the last revision of the no_iwad_alternatives
branch before it was deleted), check it out, and prematurely declare
success, leaving out some commits to the trunk (r9984, r9985, r10006)
from after the branch was merged.
With v1.6.5-rc0~74 (svn: allow branches outside of refs/remotes,
2009-08-11) and later, this fetches up to and including r9978 and then
attempts a post-fetch checkout and fails.
r9978 =
25f0920175c395f0f22f54ae7a2318147f745274
(refs/remotes/no_iwad_alternatives)
fatal: refs/remotes/trunk: not a valid SHA1
update-ref refs/heads/master refs/remotes/trunk: command returned error: 128
Checking .git/config reveals
fetch = packages//trunk/freedoom:refs/remotes/trunk
And with both 1.6.3.3 and 1.7.1, using --trunk=trunk/freedom without
the leading slash (/) works fine.
Moral: git-svn needs to scrub an initial / from $_trunk and related
arguments it receives. Make it so.
