Ignore revision on git-svn fetch?

Question

Hello,

I am trying to move one of my Subversion repositories to Git and am running into an interesting error... In the middle of the git-svn fetch step, I receive the following error:

r9 = d0eff6b2d1eda7fcced16227dbc613732e956f0b (refs/remotes/git-svn)
RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/baytn/baytn/trunk': PROPFI
ND of '/baytn/baytn/trunk': 500 Internal Server Error (https://1three.svn.codeba
sehq.com) at C:\Program Files\Git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 5047

When I go look at the revision history for the SVN repository I see that Revision #9 was an empty commit, how this happened, I am not sure.

Is there any way for me to get around this error?

Best regards,
Andrew

You can filter your commits:

with git:

with svn:

• undo commit: http://markphip.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-undo-commit-in-subversion.html
