Trouble pushing from git to subversion using git-svn

Question

I'm trying to push the existing git repo into svn.

There are solutions described here and here. That's what I'm doing:

1.Creating git repo:

$ mkdir /blabla/git_repo
$ cd /blabla/git_repo
$ git_init
$ touch hello.c
$ git add hello.c
$ git commit -m "init"

2.Creating svn repo:

$ svnadmin create /blabla/svn_repo
$ cd /blabla/svn_repo
$ vim conf/*
... making initial configuring ...
$ svnserve --daemon --root /blabla/svn_repo/

So, now I have pure svn repository and existing git repository.

3.Pushing git into svn

$ cd /blabla/git_repo
$ svn mkdir --parents svn://localhost/GIT/trunk -m "git import"
$ git svn init svn://localhost -T GIT/trunk
$ git svn fetch
Error from SVN, (220001): Item is not readable: Item is not readable
$ git branch -av
* master 54ab8bf init

So, the SVN branch is not apperaing!

If on step 3 I try to do this:

$ cd /blabla/git_repo
$ svn mkdir --parents svn://localhost/GIT/trunk -m "git import"
$ git svn init svn://localhost          <--  **no "-T" flag here**
$ git svn fetch
Authentication realm: <svn://localhost:3690> 1d926320-a80a-43d5-9e77-9dc2a43fc4f0

r1 = 8d3e31cf67f29846660ef20faf3454005101e012 (refs/remotes/git-svn)
$ git branch -av
* master          18cbfbd init
  remotes/git-svn 8d3e31c git-svn-id: svn://localhost@1 1d926320-a80a-43d5-9e77-9dc2a43fc4f0

then everything goes OK, except that I can't push git repository into GIT svn project, I can push it only into svn root.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I've found the trouble.

Though there was "anon-access = read" string in svnserve.conf, I had to add manually "* = r" into svn authz file. Now it works, though doesn't makes sense for me.

Answer 2

Put something in your SVN tree and try again. (you may remove that later in svn by dump/load)
