    <p>What is the correct way to make the remote branches/tags that exist after a git-svn init/git-svn fetch into local Git branches/tags before pushing to my remote Git repo and abandoning SVN altogether.</p> <p>I have:</p> <ul> <li>Run <code>git svn init</code> </li> <li><p>Updated the <code>svn-remote "svn"</code> section of my .git/config file to the following:</p> <pre><code>url = file:///Users/Developers/git_transition/svn_repo fetch = cascade/trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk branches = cascade/branches/{5.0GA_CLEANUP,drag-n-drop-def-builder,help-text,hib-annotations,hibernate-annotations,image-editor,ldapconfig,liquibase,move-rename-prototype,progress-bar,progress-bar2,quartz-upgrade,recyclebin,rendering_metrics,shuttle_upgrade,spring3,web-services-no-nuller}:refs/remotes/svn/* branches = cascade/branches/{6.x,5.x,4.x,3.x,archive}/*:refs/remotes/svn/* tags = cascade/tags/{3.7.x,4.x,5.x,6.x,old-releases}/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/* </code></pre></li> <li><p>Run <code>git svn fetch</code></p></li> </ul> <p>Does <code>git-svn clone</code> do something beyond init/fetch that turns these branches/tags into local ones?</p> <p>I tried the <a href="http://progit.org/book/ch8-1.html" rel="noreferrer">advice on Pro Git</a> but there was nothing in the .git/refs/remotes/svn/ directory except the empty 6.x, 5.x, 4.x, 3.x, tags, and archive directories. I did verify that the remote branches are there with <code>git branch -r</code>.</p> <p>Someone suggested that I needed to systematically checkout all of the remote branches as local ones: <code>git checkout -b &lt;local_branch_name&gt; &lt;svn_remote_branch_name&gt;</code> but I haven't gotten a definitive answer anywhere.</p> <p>I <strong>have</strong> been able to conver the tags by using this script:</p> <pre><code>git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/remotes/svn/tags/6.x | grep -v @ | while read tag; do GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%ad" "$tag")" GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%ce" "$tag")" GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%cn" "$tag")" git tag -m "$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%s%n%b" "$tag")" ${tag#refs/remotes/svn/tags/6.x/} "$tag"; done </code></pre> <p>for each of the tags folders.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
