How to checkout reactos sources including all tags and branches as SVN working copy or git clone?

Question

My research results so far are:

• checking out http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/, http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/ and http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos cause relocation error (

  $ LANG=C svn co http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/ reactos-svn
  Redirecting to URL 'http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos':
  Redirecting to URL 'http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos':
  svn: E195019: Redirect cycle detected for URL 'http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos'
  

• git clones I found so far (unpreferrable solution because it's not nice to depend on the mirror availability and activity for updates):
  • https://github.com/mirror/reactos: mirrors trunk only
  • https://github.com/svn2github/reactos mirrors trunk/reactos only
• subgit configure --svn-url <tried all URLs listed above> reactos fails because svn checkout subcommand fails
• creating a clone with http://svn2github.com/ fails with error message Cannot connect to SVN repository at http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/

EDIT 1: There seems to be a read-only git mirror provided by ReactOS team browsable at http://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git;a=summary, but no checkout URL for git (and I can't figure it out myself).

Answer 1

You can't checkout now in single step, but you can

• Inform about obvious misconfiguration repository-maintaner
• Checkout in the svn co: /trunk, /tags and /branches can be checkouted without redirect-loop

I can checkout trunk without loop

>svn co ...
...
 U   reactos
Checked out revision 63899.
>svn --version
svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264)
   compiled Aug 10 2014, 14:54:56 on x86-microsoft-windows

ReactOS now hosts their code directly on github. You can check it out using https git clone https://github.com/reactos/reactos/, or (if you have your ssh public key in github) via ssh git clone [email protected]:reactos/reactos.

If you prefer, you can also work with the code via gitpod (https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/reactos/reactos).

If anyone else finds this when looking for a git checkout url

git clone git://git.reactos.org/reactos.git
