I'm triyng to migrate my SVN repository to a Git one. In order to do that, I have to have my svn repository locally in my machine. So far I tried `svn checkout`, `git svn clone`, `svndump`, and none worked. I found `rsync`, but that also gives an error which I can't get rid of. 

I execute the following command in the directory where I want it to copy the repository:

`rsync -a . username@domain.host:http://someAddress/svn/repoName`

and get the following error.

`ssh: Could not resolve domain.host: Name or service not known
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9]`

Can anyone give an example of a simple use case of this scenario?

Thanks in advance.

**Update:** Tried the following:

```
svnadmin dump http://someAddress/svn/Reponame > Reponame-svn.out

```

and got the error of:

```
svnadmin: 'http://someAddress/svn/Reponame' is an URL when it should be a path

```

So, this also does not work..
