2014-04-23t9117: use --prefix "" instead of --prefix=""Libravatar Kyle J. McKay1-0/+3
Versions of Perl's Getopt::Long module before 2.37 do not contain this fix that first appeared in Getopt::Long version 2.37: * Bugfix: With gnu_compat, --foo= will no longer trigger "Option requires an argument" but return the empty string. Instead of using --prefix="" use --prefix "" when testing an explictly empty prefix string in order to work with older versions of Perl's Getopt::Long module. Also add a paragraph on this workaround to the documentation of git-svn itself. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

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.)

In Git v2.0, we will change the default --prefix for init/clone from none/empty to "origin/" (which causes SVN-tracking branches to be placed at refs/remotes/origin/* instead of refs/remotes/*).

2013-10-12Documentation/git-svn: Promote the use of --prefix in docs + examplesLibravatar Johan Herland1-10/+25
Currently, the git-svn defaults to using an empty prefix, which ends up placing the SVN-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This placement runs counter to Git's convention of placing remote-tracking branches in refs/remotes/$remote/*. 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. At this time, the user is better off using the --prefix=foo/ (the trailing slash is important) to git svn init/clone, to cause the SVN-tracking refs to be placed at refs/remotes/foo/* instead of refs/remotes/*. This patch updates the documentation to encourage use of --prefix. This is also in preparation for changing the default value of --prefix at some point in the future.

2013-10-10git-svn.txt: elaborate on rev_map filesLibravatar Keshav Kini1-4/+24
The man page for `git svn` describes a situation in which "'git svn' will not be able to rebuild" your $GIT_DIR/svn/**/.rev_map* files, but no mention is made of in what circumstances `git svn` *will* be able to do so, how to get `git svn` to do so, or even what these files are.

When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories created. For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the revision numbers are sufficient. By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this repository looked like when that other repository looked like this": git svn find-rev --before \ r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD) Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2011-09-13git-svn: teach git-svn to populate svn:mergeinfoLibravatar Bryan Jacobs1-0/+8
Allow git-svn to populate the svn:mergeinfo property automatically in a narrow range of circumstances. Specifically, when dcommitting a revision with multiple parents, all but (potentially) the first of which have been committed to SVN in the same repository as the target of the dcommit. In this case, the merge info is the union of that given by each of the parents, plus all changes introduced to the first parent by the other parents. In all other cases where a revision to be committed has multiple parents, cause "git svn dcommit" to raise an error rather than completing the commit and potentially losing history information in the upstream SVN repository. This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting the svn.pushmergeinfo config option.

2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

It is assumed that both keys point to the same repository. The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that 'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base path.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.
