--rootistrunk error with https repo

[ponsfrilus]

 svn2git -v https://my.svnserver.com/svn/easy/ --rootistrunk --nobranches --notags
 Running command: git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=https://my.svnserver.com/svn/easy/
 E: 'https:/my.svnserver.com/svn/easy/' is not a complete URL  and a separate URL is not specified
 command failed:
 2>&1 git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=https://my.svnserver.com/svn/easy

Note that there is only one slash in the URL of the error. How can I fix it ? It's certainly due to the https repo.

Same issue here with svn:// URLs.

[ponsfrilus]

  svn2git -v https://my.svnserver.com/svn/easy/ --trunk / --nobranches --notags

does the trick.

I can confirm this:

ain$ svn2git https://svn.server.de:4443/svn/Repo/Repo/trunk/folder --rootistrunk --verbose
Running command: git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=https://svn.server.de:4443/svn/Repo/Repo/trunk/folder
E: 'https:/svn.server.de:4443/svn/Repo/Repo/trunk/folder' is not a complete URL  and a separate URL is not specified
command failed:
2>&1 git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=https://svn.server.de:4443/svn/Repo/Repo/trunk/folder

So where is the bug, in svn2git or git svn init?

[ain]

It's git svn init issue. You can easily confirm.

I'd close this issue as soon as the respective ticket for git svn init is created/found. It is certainly a rather nasty one and we should report it if it's not yet there.

I can confirm the same problem:

$ svn2git http://fotofly.svn.codeplex.com/svn/ --rootistrunk -v
Running command: git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=http://fotofly.svn.codeplex.com/svn/
E: 'http:/fotofly.svn.codeplex.com/svn' is not a complete URL  and a separate URL is not specified
command failed:
2>&1 git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=http://fotofly.svn.codeplex.com/svn/

Thanks @ponsfrilus, your workaround solved the issue for me as well.

[ponsfrilus]

@MikeOrtiz : happy to help!

[SethTisue]

thank you, --trunk / saved the day today

[asbjornu]

I just had the same issue and --trunk / worked. I'm amazed that --rootistrunk and --trunk / would yield different results, though. Does anyone know why?

[rikckie]

@ponsfrilus thank-you

[Maki-Daisuke]

Thank you! This was a long-pending issue for me.

[uberbrady]

Just bit me today - and the --trunk / fixed it for me. Thanks again @ponsfrilus !!!

After using "--trunk /" as mentioned in the suggestions, it gives a similar error:
E: '' is not a complete URL and a separate URL is not specified.
This is the command I am using:
svn2git -v "my URL" --trunk / --nobranches --notags --metadata
