    <p><strong>Problem</strong></p> <p>How do you create a shallow copy with git-svn from a Subversion repository, e.g. how do you pull only the last three revisions?</p> <p>The <code>git clone</code> command can get the last n revisions from a Git repository if you use the option <code>--depth</code>, i.e. you get a shallow copy of the repository. Example:</p> <pre><code>git clone --depth 3 git://some/repo myshallowcopyrepo </code></pre> <p>Is there a similar option for git-svn?</p> <p><strong>My discoveries so far</strong></p> <p>So far I've only found the <code>-rN</code> option where <code>N</code> is the revision to pull. Example:</p> <pre><code>git svn clone -rN svn://some/repo </code></pre> <p>According to the documentation there is the possibility to use <code>-r$REVNUMBER:HEAD</code>. I tried the following to get the last 3 revisions which returned an error message.</p> <pre><code>$ git svn clone --prefix=svn/ -s -rHEAD~3:HEAD http://some/svn/repo . revision argument: HEAD~3:HEAD not understood by git-svn </code></pre> <p>So I replaced <code>HEAD~3</code> with the actual number of the third but last revision 534. That worked, but that requires me to first figure out the revision number of the third but last commit.</p> <pre><code>$ git svn clone --prefix=svn/ -s -r534:HEAD http://some/svn/repo . </code></pre> <p><strong>Documentation</strong></p> <p><a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone" rel="noreferrer">git-clone</a></p> <p><a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn" rel="noreferrer">git-svn</a></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.
