Seth,
I’ve got a couple of things to try, I personally have never used git svn so I couldn’t tell you if this will work or won’t work 😉
The main difference I see that seems related is in the article you link to the git svn clone instructions do not include tags, so maybe that’s related:
git svn clone -t tags -b branches -T trunk -r387893
I snagged the above from:
http://teleogistic.net/2012/09/16/using-git-locally-for-a-subversion-based-project-like-buddypress/
A couple of older articles the above is based on:
http://teleogistic.net/2011/05/23/revisiting-git-github-and-the-wordpress-org-plugin-repository/
http://teleogistic.net/2010/09/10/using-github-with-wordpress-org-plugin-svn/
Another issue though I don’t think it should cause an issue is to use HTTPS for SVN repo:
• https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/sm-sticky-clicky-star/trunk
I’m having the exact same problem described in the original post, above, and what confuses me is that creating tags in this exact way worked without issue several months ago, when I last did it.
My terminal output is:
Authorization failed: POST of '/!svn/me': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org) at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1217.
I also found similar complaints about this issue here, here, and here, but none have a solution. 🙁
I’d very much like to see this working again. git-svn is a key part of my workflow for supporting my many WordPress plugins.
Any updates on this? i have the same problem with git version 2.5.4 and git-svn. It’s very annoying…
This issue has recently been plaguing me as well. I found I was able to workaround the issue by using the svn command to create the tag directly:
svn cp https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/PLUGIN_NAME/trunk https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/PLUGIN_NAME/tags/TAG_NUMBER
I can’t get tagging to work either (and it worked for me a couple months ago). Other people are having this issue here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34623108/git-svn-branch-results-in-authentication-failed
What a hassle it is still having to use SVN…
