clean-git: Auth fails

Issue #14 new
Thiago Santos created an issue

Following the steps described at https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-convert Cloned with authors from SVN. Cannot run clean-git on cloned repo as it tries to authenticate to SVN without credentials. There are no options to pass in credentials. --force-interactive didn't help (or maybe it's not meant for what I thought it is)

As per messages in the image, I cannot tell if there are no changes to be made at all, or if it's saying there aren't because it can't connect to find them.

    This is how I got this working (on Mac OSX): 1) Added credentials to corresponding ~/.subversion/auth file 2) Tried to run svn log your-repo-url 3) On Mac this would ask me to use my keychain, once I selected "Always Allow" the clean-git command would start working as well

    Atlassian Provided with this workaround and seems to work for us:

    • Add the credentials to an auth file
    • Run an SVN command like svn log on the SVN server host machine's command line
    • Running the command on the command line should prompt you "Always Allow" this auth method
    • After you select this you should be able to run the script which should then be able to execute the clean-git command
