'git svn' <command> [options] [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
affecting the working tree; and the 'rebase' command will be
able to update the working tree with the latest changes.
+--preserve-empty-dirs;;
+ Create a placeholder file in the local Git repository for each
+ empty directory fetched from Subversion. This includes directories
+ that become empty by removing all entries in the Subversion
+ repository (but not the directory itself). The placeholder files
+ are also tracked and removed when no longer necessary.
+
+--placeholder-filename=<filename>;;
+ Set the name of placeholder files created by --preserve-empty-dirs.
+ Default: ".gitignore"
+
'rebase'::
This fetches revisions from the SVN parent of the current HEAD
and rebases the current (uncommitted to SVN) work against it.
Add the given merge information during the dcommit
(e.g. `--mergeinfo="/branches/foo:1-10"`). All svn server versions can
store this information (as a property), and svn clients starting from
- version 1.5 can make use of it. 'git svn' currently does not use it
- and does not set it automatically.
+ version 1.5 can make use of it. To specify merge information from multiple
+ branches, use a single space character between the branches
+ (`--mergeinfo="/branches/foo:1-10 /branches/bar:3,5-6,8"`)
++
+[verse]
+config key: svn.pushmergeinfo
++
+This option will cause git-svn to attempt to automatically populate the
+svn:mergeinfo property in the SVN repository when possible. Currently, this can
+only be done when dcommitting non-fast-forward merges where all parents but the
+first have already been pushed into SVN.
+
+--interactive;;
+ Ask the user to confirm that a patch set should actually be sent to SVN.
+ For each patch, one may answer "yes" (accept this patch), "no" (discard this
+ patch), "all" (accept all patches), or "quit".
+ +
+ 'git svn dcommit' returns immediately if answer if "no" or "quit", without
+ commiting anything to SVN.
'branch'::
Create a branch in the SVN repository.
Show what revision and author last modified each line of a file. The
output of this mode is format-compatible with the output of
`svn blame' by default. Like the SVN blame command,
- local uncommitted changes in the working copy are ignored;
+ local uncommitted changes in the working tree are ignored;
the version of the file in the HEAD revision is annotated. Unknown
arguments are passed directly to 'git blame'.
+
Empty directories are automatically recreated when using
"git svn clone" and "git svn rebase", so "mkdirs" is intended
for use after commands like "git checkout" or "git reset".
+ (See the svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs config file option for
+ more information.)
'commit-diff'::
Commits the diff of two tree-ish arguments from the
locales to avoid corrupted file names with non-ASCII characters.
Valid encodings are the ones supported by Perl's Encode module.
+svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs::
+ Normally, the "git svn clone" and "git svn rebase" commands
+ attempt to recreate empty directories that are in the
+ Subversion repository. If this option is set to "false", then
+ empty directories will only be created if the "git svn mkdirs"
+ command is run explicitly. If unset, 'git svn' assumes this
+ option to be "true".
+
Since the noMetadata, rewriteRoot, rewriteUUID, useSvnsyncProps and useSvmProps
options all affect the metadata generated and used by 'git svn'; they
*must* be set in the configuration file before any history is imported
