Git svn does not use the svn credentials

Question

I try to clone a path from our svn repository. The repository is secured with passwords.

I have found some subversion directories on my Windows 10 System and created

Answer 1

The reason why git-svn does not use SVN is that it use the credentials stored at C:\Users\XXXX.subversion, which is created by git-svn but not SVN. In my case, Error from SVN, (220001): Item is not readable: Item is not readable also occur.

The solution is to move the credentials from SVN to git-svn:

1. Use SVN to check out from server. Remember to save auth. This can create credentials for SVN. The files are stored at C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Subversion.
2. Remove the .subversion folder which is under user directory C:\Users\XXXXX if it exists. And then copy the C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Subversion folder to C:\Users\XXXXX.
3. Then rename it to .subversion. Since the name starts with a ".", you may need to rename it in cmd console with "rename" command.
4. Finally, you can use git-svn clone.
