    CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL

    To complete SubGit installation do the following:

    1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\config
    2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\passwd
        OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\config
    3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\authors.txt
    4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
         subgit install "C:\repo.git"

Specify authors mapping
Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:
No Format
GIT_REPOS/subgit/authors.txt
Or change core.authors option so that it points to the global authors mapping file.
Find more details about authors mapping in Authors mapping article.

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.
