svn2git: Cannot setup tracking information

Question

I am trying to migrate a SVN project to git with thel help of svn2git. When executing the command it exits with the following error:

Running command: git branch          


        

Answer 1

this should fix it:

Changing this line https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git/blob/master/lib/svn2git/migration.rb#L319
from run_command("git branch --track \"#{branch}\" \"remotes/svn/#{branch}\"")
to run_command("git branch \"#{branch}\" \"remotes/svn/#{branch}\"") should fix it.

At least it works now for me without any issues.

you can find the migration.rb file on Windows under C:\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\svn2git-2.2.2\lib\svn2git or something like this
