SVN2Git: fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; starting point 'remotes/svn/dlb’ is not a branch

On a recent project, I’m integration SVN with Team Foundation Server GIT. This is not such an easy process and we hit some bumps down the road.

One tool I can recommend is SVN2Git, this is a great improvement over the standard git –svn  command you get out-of-the-box.

But even then you’ll probably get some errors, a problem that we encountered when executing SVN2Git was the following:

fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; starting point 'remotes/svn/dlb’ is not a branch

We were able to fix it by opening up the migration.rb file (SVN2Git is a ruby gem) under C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\svn2git-2.2.2\lib\svn2git (or a similar path) and removing the --track option from the following statement:

run_command("git branch --track \"#{branch}\" \"remotes/svn/#{branch}\"")

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
