Could you describe the commands you've used to do the conversion, as well
as the .rules file used to create the repositories?

It has been a long time since I've used the tool -- the scripts and tooling
I used at the time are available at
https://github.com/pywikibot/svn2git/tree/master/scripts-pwb. Specifically,
https://github.com/pywikibot/svn2git/blob/master/scripts-pwb/sync_convert_push
automates the whole process from updating the SVN mirror to pushing the
result to a remote git server.

This `total.rules` creates four repositories:

$ ls output
compat  core  i18n  spelling

and each repository is a so-called 'bare' git repository:

$ ls output/compat
branches  config  description  HEAD  hooks  info  marks-output_compat
objects  refs

You can't use such a repository directly, but you can push and pull from
it, e.g.

$ git clone output/compat new_regular_git_repo
Cloning into 'new_regular_git_repo'...
done.
$ cd new_regular_git_repo
$ ls
[... files on master branch ...]


I hope this helps!
