Azure-devops-docs: refs/heads/trunk not found

[wisgit]

Thanks for these detailed instructions.
However, after the command "git branch -m trunk master" (isssued in the bare local repository) I receive the error message "error: refname refs/heads/trunk not found".
What might have gone wrong?

Try "git branch -m svn/trunk master"

Also in the section for creating a bare repo, the command should be "git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/svn/trunk"

This also affects the references for tags as well.

git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/heads/svn/tags | % { $_.Replace('refs/heads/svn/tags/','') } | % { git tag $_ "refs/heads/svn/tags/$_"; git branch -D "svn/tags/$_" }

I also hit this error. Try git branch to list the available branches. Then change the command accordingly.
For example, git branch -m bare/svn/trunk master instead of git branch -m trunk master
