How can I change the Prefix Mapping in a Git-Svn Repository?

Question

I\'ve created a Git Clone of a SVN repository using git-svn. When doing this I specified the --prefix option to prefix my remote branches. I now want to get rid of

Answer 1

I've done the following which appears to have worked.

In .git/config I updated the fetch, branches and tags settings to update the local refs. It was:

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://subversion/......
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/Project/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/Project/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/Project/tags/*

Which I changed to

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://subversion/......
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*

The within .git/refs/remotes I moved trunk out of the Project folder and the remaining refs within Project into a new folder called svn. The structure was:

• remotes
  • Project
    • trunk
    • feature-branch

Which I changed to:

• remotes
  • trunk
  • svn
    • feature-branch

I also performed the same restructuring of folders within .git/svn/refs/remotes/.

Finally I triggered a git svn fetch. I had to specify the -r argument to limit to the same start revision that I used for my initial clone, but it doesn't appear to have re-fetched the old revisions.
