[jira] Commented: (INFRA-2739) Tags don't show up in git

["Daniel Truemper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2739?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12871197#action_12871197 ] 

Daniel Truemper commented on INFRA-2739:
----------------------------------------

Well, yes and no.

Yes, svn tags are just special branches. And no, git-svn does find out at which commit the svn tag branch has been created and then adds a git-tag.

See for example:

http://code.google.com/p/jcouchdb/source/browse/#svn/tags

and my github mirror for that project:

http://github.com/truemped/jcouchdb

where the tags do show up!

> Hi,
> somehow the SVN tags are not visible from Git. Instead of showing up as a tag each tag is listed as "tags/$TAG" branch.
> Usually with
> $ git svn clone -s  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/
> all branches and tags should show up correctly! It may be possible that with older versions of Git you explicitly need to set the "{trunk,tags,branches}" names:
> $ git svn clone --trunk=trunk --branches=branches --tags=tags http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/
> HTH
