            CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL

            To complete SubGit installation do the following:

            1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/config
            2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/passwd
               OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/config
            3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/authors.txt
            4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
                subgit install ./project.git

Specify authors mapping
Update Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:

Warning

title	Empty working tree case

If Git warns you that you are cloning an empty repository and you don't see your files in the working tree, most probably automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in Branches and tags mapping.

If you have encountered any problems, see the following guides for more details:
