sudo port install git-core +svn
Getting git-svn working on the Mac « Alec the Geek
Having installed git-core (‘sudo port install git-core’) on Mac OS X, I couldn’t for the life of me understand why ‘git svn clone’ wasn’t working (I’d used this command earlier in the day on an Ubuntu 9.10 machine at work.
I man’d ‘git-svn’ and the docs were there. ‘which’-ing git-svn gave me nothing. Turns out, via ports, that you have to add a ‘+svn’ argument to the ‘sudo port install git-core’ command.
MacPorts is doing work right now as I writethis, should have git-svn running on OS X soon, just in time to syphon of some Sourceforge and Google code projects and histories (no-404’s required here, I’m afraid).
