Trying to migrate a large but linear svn repository to git. The svn repository does not have the standard layout (trunk, branches, tags)...just one directory with the trunk.
Also had the issue. Figured out that git command is case-sensitive and that I was specifying --trunk=trunk/MyLib instead of --trunk=trunk.Mylib
--trunk=trunk/MyLib
--trunk=trunk.Mylib
I managed to resolve it that way.
Hope this helps someone...
