Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history

Question

Why do I get this error message?

Answer 1

In my case, the HEAD from the svn repo should have been matched to the HEAD from the git repo. This should solve the problem:

git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn refs/remotes/origin/master

If your use a different git branch for svn trunk, for example svntrunk, that branch should be referenced instead, that is:

git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn refs/remotes/origin/svntrunk
