ADVANCED OPTIONS
----------------
-b<refname>::
This option may be specified multiple times, once for each
branch.
+ repo-config key: svn.branch
+
-i<GIT_SVN_ID>::
--id <GIT_SVN_ID>::
This sets GIT_SVN_ID (instead of using the environment). See
Only used with the 'rebuild' command.
Run this if you used an old version of git-svn that used
- 'git-svn-HEAD' instead of 'remotes/git-svn' as the branch
+ "git-svn-HEAD" instead of "remotes/git-svn" as the branch
for tracking the remote.
--no-ignore-externals::
Otherwise, do not enable this flag unless you know what you're
doing.
---no-stop-on-copy::
- Only used with the 'fetch' command.
-
- By default, git-svn passes --stop-on-copy to avoid dealing with
- the copied/renamed branch directory problem entirely. A
- copied/renamed branch is the result of a <SVN_URL> being created
- in the past from a different source. These are problematic to
- deal with even when working purely with svn if you work inside
- subdirectories.
-
- Do not use this flag unless you know exactly what you're getting
- yourself into. You have been warned.

Basic Examples
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tracking and contributing to an Subversion managed-project:
-# Initialize a tree (like git init-db)::
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Initialize a tree (like git init-db):
git-svn init http://svn.foo.org/project/trunk
-# Fetch remote revisions::
+# Fetch remote revisions:
git-svn fetch
-# Create your own branch to hack on::
+# Create your own branch to hack on:
git checkout -b my-branch remotes/git-svn
-# Commit only the git commits you want to SVN::
+# Commit only the git commits you want to SVN:
git-svn commit <tree-ish> [<tree-ish_2> ...]
-# Commit all the git commits from my-branch that don't exist in SVN::
+# Commit all the git commits from my-branch that don't exist in SVN:
git-svn commit remotes/git-svn..my-branch
-# Something is committed to SVN, pull the latest into your branch::
+# Something is committed to SVN, pull the latest into your branch:
git-svn fetch && git pull . remotes/git-svn
-# Append svn:ignore settings to the default git exclude file::
+# Append svn:ignore settings to the default git exclude file:
git-svn show-ignore >> .git/info/exclude
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
-----------------
This allows you to tie unfetched SVN revision 375 to your current HEAD::
- git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)
+ `git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)`
Advanced Example: Tracking a Reorganized Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the /trunk directory of his repository was moved to /ufoai/trunk and
he needed to continue tracking /ufoai/trunk where /trunk left off.
- # This log message shows when the repository was reorganized::
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ # This log message shows when the repository was reorganized:
r166 | ydirson | 2006-03-02 01:36:55 +0100 (Thu, 02 Mar 2006) | 1 line
Changed paths:
D /trunk
A /ufoai/trunk (from /trunk:165)
- # First we start tracking the old revisions::
+ # First we start tracking the old revisions:
GIT_SVN_ID=git-oldsvn git-svn init \
- https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/trunk
