title: Migrating from SVN to Git with SVN repository having no trunk tags, and branches
body: <p>I am trying to migrate my SVN repository to Git keeping all the history intact. My SVN repository has a non standard layout and the project files are directly under the repository root. There are no tags and branches.</p>
  <p>I firstly used <code>git svn clone</code> to migrate the repo. the command completed successfully but when I did <code>git branch -r</code> I did not get anything.</p>
  <p>Next I used <code>svn2git</code>. I firstly tried to use it with <code>--rootistrunk</code> option but the command did not run and I couldn't see anything in the console. I read somewhere that <code>--rootistrunk</code> has some issues and to use
  <code>svn2git &lt;svn-url&gt; trunk / --no-minimize-url --verbose</code>. The command ran but it failed at the last with the error message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>svn2git error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to
  git. command failed: git checkout -f master.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Can anyone suggest how I can get around this problem?</p>
