Here’s a method that avoids hijacks, which our team used this method quite successfully for over a year, until we retired ClearCase for Subversion (per company policy, although it is a backwards step for our team – we were basically just using ClearCase as a dumb file system, and virtually working natively in git, but … Read more
At work I use git-svn against a ~170000 revision SVN repo. What I did was use git-svn init + git-svn fetch -r… to limit my initial fetch to a reasonable number of revisions. You must be careful to choose a revision that is actually in the branch you want. Everything is fully functional even with … Read more
If you work on a branch in git, you can git-merge –squash, which does that within git. You could then push that one squashed commit to SVN. Of course, lots of small commits are good, so why would you want to squash them?
You used the -s option to git svn clone, but from your example, it doesn’t appear that your Subversion repository is using the standard layout (i.e., trunk, branches, and tags directories at the repository root). If that’s the case, clone without -s.
You should be able to succeed like this: git svn clone file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive Similar to svn checkout command: svn co file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive file:// for folder on the current drive of the executing CMD prompt, file:///d/some_folder for D:\some_folder. Note: The extra / and the removed colon : in the file link on Windows. file://e:/svn_repo_on_E_drive → file:///e/svn_repo_on_E_drive git svn … Read more
You don’t want the standard layout, you want something like this: git svn clone svn+ssh://path/to/repo/ –trunk=trunk/directory –branches=branches/*/directory –tags=tags/*/directory
You can clone a single branch (without inadvertently cloning the whole project) with the following: git clone <url> –branch <branch> –single-branch [<folder>] Alternatively (attempting to address your new question here…), you can clone the whole project git clone <url> Change directories into the folder and creating a new branch off of master with git checkout … Read more
Create a directory right click, “Git Clone…” Enable”From SVN Repository” and select all further settings
You can try the –no-minimize-url option. According to http://schacon.github.com/git/git-svn.html: –no-minimize-url When tracking multiple directories (using –stdlayout, –branches, or –tags options), git svn will attempt to connect to the root (or highest allowed level) of the Subversion repository. This default allows better tracking of history if entire projects are moved within a repository, but may cause … Read more
It does not look like there is a Git plugin for Eclipse that supports git-svn yet. EGit appears to be the most active and popular Git plugin for Eclipse at the moment and it does not support git-svn, but there isn’t anything stopping you from using EGit with Eclipse and interacting with git-svn via command … Read more
