git svn clone results in empty directory

I have an svn repository with project structure:

/root/projectA/trunk
/root/projectA/branches
/root/projectA/tags

/root/projectB/trunk
/root/projectB/branches
/root/projectB/tags 

I want to clone projectA. When I run:

git svn clone -r <revision number>:HEAD <url>/root/projectA

I get no errors and a git repository is created under the new projectA directory. However the directory is empty. Am I missing soemthing?


My problem was using the -s or --stdlayout because my svn repo did NOT have a standard layout (trunk, branches, tags).


Below command did the job:

  git svn clone -r HEAD <url>/root/projectA
