2019-11-23git svn: stop using `rebase --preserve-merges`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+2
We deprecated `--preserve-merges` in favor of `--rebase-merges`; Let's reflect that in `git svn`. Note: Even when the user asks for `--preserve-merges`, we now silently pass `--rebase-merges` to `git rebase` instead. Technically, this is a change of behavior. But practically, `git svn` only ever asks for a non-interactive rebase, and `--preserve-merges` and `--rebase-merges` are on par with regard to that.

2019-09-05Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branchLibravatar Elijah Newren1-5/+5
filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead. Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of these needed updates even if we could continue recommending filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch. Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this, especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems: * In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge, filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned. * I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users * If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than the other. * BFG and filter-repo have similar performance * All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in BFG due to its technical underpinnings. While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it is just better to remove that section altogether.

2019-04-10Documentation/git-svn: improve asciidoctor compatibilityLibravatar Todd Zullinger1-3/+3
The second paragraph in the CONFIGURATION section intends to emphasize the word 'must' with bold type. It does so by writing it as *must*, and this works fine with AsciiDoc. It usually works great with Asciidoctor, too, but in this particular instance, we have another "*" earlier in the paragraph. We do escape it, and it is rendered literally just like we want it to, but Asciidoctor then ends up tripping on the second (or third) of the asterisks in this paragraph. Since that asterisk is (part of) a literal example, we can set it in monospace, by giving it as `*`. Adjust the whole paragraph in this way. There's lots more monospacing to be done in this document, but since our main motivation is addressing AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor discrepancies like this one, let's just convert this one paragraph.

Now git-svn behaves like git-commit: If the email is *explicitly* set to the empty string using '<>', the commit does not contain an email address, only the name: jondoe <> Allowing to remove the email address *intentionally* prevents automatic systems from sending emails to those fictional addresses and avoids cluttering the log output with unnecessary stuff.

2014-04-19Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not givenLibravatar Johan Herland1-16/+4
git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches. Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion. Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper" remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would benefit from following the same convention. For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit), then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous. every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch. The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead, git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above. This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the --prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone). Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of) prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "") on the git svn init/clone command line. The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/", updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn testcases. (Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)
