NAME
----
-git-svn - bidirectional operation between Subversion and git
+git-svn - Bidirectional operation between a single Subversion branch and git
SYNOPSIS
--------
command (see below) to write git commits back to
remotes/git-svn.
-See '<<fetch-args,Additional Fetch Arguments>>' if you are interested in
-manually joining branches on commit.
-
'dcommit'::
Commit each diff from a specified head directly to the SVN
repository, and then rebase or reset (depending on whether or
commit. All merging is assumed to have taken place
independently of git-svn functions.
-'rebuild'::
- Not a part of daily usage, but this is a useful command if
- you've just cloned a repository (using gitlink:git-clone[1]) that was
- tracked with git-svn. Unfortunately, git-clone does not clone
- git-svn metadata and the svn working tree that git-svn uses for
- its operations. This rebuilds the metadata so git-svn can
- resume fetch operations. A Subversion URL may be optionally
- specified at the command-line if the directory/repository you're
- tracking has moved or changed protocols.
-
'show-ignore'::
Recursively finds and lists the svn:ignore property on
directories. The output is suitable for appending to
'commit-diff'::
Commits the diff of two tree-ish arguments from the
- command-line. This command is intended for interopability with
+ command-line. This command is intended for interoperability with
git-svnimport and does not rely on being inside an git-svn
init-ed repository. This command takes three arguments, (a) the
original tree to diff against, (b) the new tree result, (c) the
'multi-init'::
This command supports git-svnimport-like command-line syntax for
- importing repositories that are layed out as recommended by the
+ importing repositories that are laid out as recommended by the
SVN folks. This is a bit more tolerant than the git-svnimport
command-line syntax and doesn't require the user to figure out
where the repository URL ends and where the repository path
cannot version empty directories. Enabling this flag will make
the commit to SVN act like git.

+-R<remote name>::

+ Specify the [svn-remote "<remote name>"] section to use,

--follow-parent::
This is especially helpful when we're tracking a directory
that has been moved around within the repository, or if we
started tracking a branch and never tracked the trunk it was
descended from.

--no-metadata::
This gets rid of the git-svn-id: lines at the end of every commit.
- With this, you lose the ability to use the rebuild command. If
- you ever lose your .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db file, you won't be
- able to fetch again, either. This is fine for one-shot imports.
+ If you lose your .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db file, git-svn will not
+ be able to rebuild it and you won't be able to fetch again,
+ either. This is fine for one-shot imports.
The 'git-svn log' command will not work on repositories using this,
either.

-COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS
----------------------
---
-
---upgrade::
-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
-for tracking the remote.
-
---ignore-nodate::
-Only used with the 'fetch' command.
-
-By default git-svn will crash if it tries to import a revision
-from SVN which has '(no date)' listed as the date of the revision.
-This is repository corruption on SVN's part, plain and simple.
-But sometimes you really need those revisions anyway.
-
-If supplied git-svn will convert '(no date)' entries to the UNIX
-epoch (midnight on Jan. 1, 1970). Yes, that's probably very wrong.
-SVN was very wrong.

remotes/$GIT_SVN_ID branch should never be modified by the user outside
of git-svn commands.
-[[fetch-args]]
-ADDITIONAL FETCH ARGUMENTS
---------------------------
-This is for advanced users, most users should ignore this section.
-
-Unfetched SVN revisions may be imported as children of existing commits
-by specifying additional arguments to 'fetch'. Additional parents may
-optionally be specified in the form of sha1 hex sums at the
-command-line. Unfetched SVN revisions may also be tied to particular
-git commits with the following syntax:
-
-------------------------------------------------
- svn_revision_number=git_commit_sha1
-------------------------------------------------
-
-This allows you to tie unfetched SVN revision 375 to your current HEAD:
-
-------------------------------------------------
- git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)
-------------------------------------------------
-
If you're tracking a directory that has moved, or otherwise been
branched or tagged off of another directory in the repository and you
care about the full history of the project, then you can use
