So I am trying to switch to git, by using git-svn. I am having a svn repo called myrepo from which I want to clone just the project called myproject
Make sure that you specify a full path to myproject
it seems like partial paths are not handled well by the fetch part of the clone operation. You may use the colon in that path on Windows (e.g. c:\myproject) (but may not use a colon in the source repository path).
git svn clone path-to-repo/myrepo/myproject --stdlayout --prefix=svn myproject
