hi all

does anyone have a magic command line that will import the gnucash svn repo?

     http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk

i've tried every variation of the command line i can think of and keep getting 
pages and pages of this sort of thing:

15420: Unrecognized path: /gnucash/trunk/src/gnome-utils/gnc-html-graph-gog.c
15421: Unrecognized path: /gnucash/trunk/src/engine/gnc-commodity.c
15421: Unrecognized path: /gnucash/trunk/src/engine/iso-4217-currencies.scm
15422: Unrecognized path: /gnucash/trunk/src/engine/iso-4217-currencies.scm

followed by this sort of thing:

Generating pack...
Done counting 0 objects.
Nothing new to pack.
Removing unused objects 100%...
Done.
cp: cannot stat `/opt/gnucash/src/import/.git/refs/heads/origin': No such file 
or directory
fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born.
warning: Forcing checkout of HEAD.
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
checkout failed: 256

the unrecognized path messages are coming from the call to split_path() 
located inside commit_all().

i'm using git 1.5.0-rc2 under suse 10.0 and opensuse 10.2 on x86_64.

thanks in advance
