Question

Expected FS format '2' found format '3 git-svn

Answer 1

+6 A:

If you access your Subversion repository using a network protocol (such as svn://) instead of local file access, then things should work properly for you. It appears as though you're asking git-svn to access the repository directly, causing the problem you've shown. The Subversion network protocols are more resilient to older clients connecting.

now I'm getting a "Connection refused: Can't connect to host '': Connection refused at" error. Any ideas what would be could causing that.

In order to connect with the svn:// protocol, you will need an instance of svnserve running on port 3690 (default). See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s03.html for more information about setting up svnserve.

Thanks heaps Greg :)

To answer your next question before you need to ask, you will also need to set up the "passwd" and "svnserve.conf" files in the conf/ subdirectory of your repository with appropriate access credentials before you will be able to commit anything with git-svn. The svnserve daemon by default allows anonymous read-only access, with credentials required for write. You may alternately set up "anon-access = write" in svnserve.conf if your machine is on a private network (ie. nobody else can connect to it).

Cool thanks for the help, setting it up now. I managed to get it to pull down the files but I didn't try and commit it so I didn't run into that issue, so thanks for the heads up.

Answer 2

A:

Your git version is pretty old, too. Especially on windows (which is what you are using it seems), there have been a lot of fixes since then. I would try updating git first.

I am running 1.6.3.msysgit.0 which still has svn 1.4.6 so you need to have svnserve running.
