git svn clone of a single directory of SVN repository

Question

I am attempting to use git svn to clone a single directory of a SVN repository into a Git repository.

If I use git svn clone svn+ssh://path/to/repo/tr

Answer 1

You don't want the standard layout, you want something like this:

git svn clone svn+ssh://path/to/repo/ --trunk=trunk/directory --branches=branches/*/directory --tags=tags/*/directory

Answer 2

Prepare and enter the local project directory:

mkdir local/project/path
cd local/project/path

Initialize the local git repository with svn remote and fetch the data:

git svn init http://my_svn_server.com/repository/project/location
git svn fetch
