Manually Migrating from svn to git

Question

Hi,

I am trying to migrate my svn repo from svn to git and it keeps on failing, it stops with the following output:

W: -empty_dir: trunk/ncontinuity2.core/extensions

When I do a git branch -a, it shows that it has not moved all the branches and indeed displays some branches that have been previously delted.

I have decide I can live without the history.

Is there anyway I can do this move manualy and recreate my branch structure in git?

I have tried git-svn and git2svn and both do not import my repo correctly, I just want to do it manually now.

Cheers

Paul

If you only want the working code, no history:

svn export <url> <other folder>
cd <other folder>
git init .
