svn2git fails: is not a complete URL

[darksheer]

This error only occurs with the combination of --rootistrunk --nobranches --notags

git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=svn://svn.svnplace.com/goodies/
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/me/new/.git/
E: 'svn:/svn.svnplace.com/goodies' is not a complete URL and a separate URL is not specified

Duplicate of #132. Fix proposed in #145.

[ludwigschwardt]

This is NOT a duplicate of #132 but rather of #127. The latter issue mentions a workaround that worked for me (use '--trunk /' instead of '--rootistrunk').

thanks @ludwigschwardt!

Saved my day as well!

This is still an issue and @ludwigschwardt gave the right workaround. The README should be updated to reflect this or the --rootistrunk option should be fixed/removed.

please update the homepage README, I had the same issue with

svn2git "svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/g3d/code" --rootistrunk

and I had to use

svn2git "svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/g3d/code" --trunk / --nobranches --notags

Thank you @jackpoz that solved my problem. Documentation is wrong in that respect, so please think of fixing it!
