I was trying to clone my wordpress plugin from the wordpress svn repo using git-svn. I had no luck for about the past 8 weeks, with this problem: <br /> Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/lantrix/tweet/.git/<br /> Using higher level of URL: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tweet => http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org<br /> And it would proceed to hit up the entire wordpress repo. After reading a possible solution on Charlie’s Old blog, I stubmled across a newer way to do this.
