We have a large svn repository that locally we use git and git-svn to interact with.
Recently I created a repository but ignored a file starting with trunk. I fixed the ignore-paths so it ignores the directory trunk and not any file starting with trunk.
Now I get the git svn "was not found in commit" error since the commits git syncs with have the file but git is missing the original file commit.
Usually one would use git svn reset -rxxxx and git fetch -rxxxx but this is a two year old repository and I can not roll back to when the file was originally created.
How do I get git to pull the file down from svn?
