I am trying to check out an SVN repository using git-svn on Windows. The repository has password auth over https. On my old machine, I can create a new empty directory and do this:
git svn init -s --username jsmith https://companyname.website/svn/repositoryname
and after a second or two, it will return with
Initialized empty Git repository in D:/git/tempdir/.git/
And return me to the prompt. However, on my new machine, if I issue the same command, it hangs after printing out the status message. It prints out the status message, but does not return me to the prompt.
Similar questions are about cloning a large SVN repo, and answers all suggest that I start with just doing init by itself and then selectively fetch recent revisions, which is a good idea, but I can't even get the init to complete.
What am I doing wrong? I suspect an authentication issue, but I'm not getting an error message, git svn init simply never returns me to the prompt.
