Hi I am not able to my repository from SVN to Git using 'git svn' tool..

You can try SubGit to import SVN repository into Git. Also, this tool allows using both Subversion and Git with the same repository.

Here are the basic instructions how to setup SubGit:

$ subgit configure SVN_REPOS
# Adjust SVN_REPOS/conf/subgit.conf to specify your branches and tags
# Adjust SVN_REPOS/conf/authors.txt to specify git & svn authors mapping
$ subgit install SVN_REPOS
...
# INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL

After installation you can find imported Git repository at SVN_REPOS/.git; since this moment SubGit automatically synchronizes SVN and Git repositories on every svn commit and git push. In case you don't need this mirror functionality of SubGit, just run the command:

$ subgit uninstall --purge SVN_REPOS

This command deletes all the SubGit-related files, as result you have imported Git repository which is no more synchronized with SVN.

Find more details at SubGit documentation and git-svn comparison pages.

SubGit is a commercial product, but it is free for one-time conversion. If you're interested in mirror mode of SubGit, it's free for open-source, academic and small projects (up to 10 committers).

Disclaimer: I'm one of SubGit developers.
