Import a svn repo to git from a given point in time.

Question

Hi.

What can I do to import a SVN repository into git but only from a (known) revision number and onwards?

I've tried with:

git svn clone --authors-file=/home/ubuntu/svn-git-users.lst --revision=4151 -T trunk -b branch -t tags file://`pwd`/../svn-server-sync/MyRepo MyRepo 

But it fails with:

r4151 = e80c7c5923700d6c7594c91f172779af63a8511b (refs/remotes/snapshots) fatal: refs/remotes/trunk: not a valid SHA1

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

To follow up on my comment, it seems it might be a syntax issue:

-r4151, 

instead of -r=4151 (no 'equal' sign needed).
The question How to git-svn clone the last n revisions from a Subversion repository? provides some good examples.

The OP reports trying -r4151:HEAD, which for now is importing the SVN repo.
