This section has not been updated in a while and --branches/--tags/--trunk options are commonly used nowadays. Noticed-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-23git-svn init/clone --stdlayout option to default-init trunk/tags/branchesLibravatar martin f. krafft1-1/+6
The --stdlayout option to git-svn init/clone initialises the default Subversion values of trunk,tags,branches: -T trunk -b branches -t tags. If any of the -T/-t/-b options are given in addition, they are given preference. [ew: fixed whitespace and added "-s" shortcut] Signed-off-by: martin f. krafft <madduck@madduck.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2007-08-06Documentation/git-svn: how to clone a git-svn-created repositoryLibravatar Adam Roben1-0/+20
These instructions tell you how to create a clone of a repository created with git-svn, that can in turn be used with git-svn. Signed-off-by: Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-24git-svn: trailing slash in prefix is mandatory with --branches/-bLibravatar Gerrit Pape1-3/+4
Make clear in the documentation that when using --branches/-b and --prefix with 'init', the prefix must include a trailing slash. This matches the actual behavior of git-svn, e.g.: $ git svn init -Ttrunk -treleases -bbranches --prefix xxx \ http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/ --prefix='xxx' must have a trailing slash '/' $ This was noticed by R. Vanicat and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/429443 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-05-04Add --no-rebase option to git-svn dcommitLibravatar Karl Hasselström1-0/+3
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this behavior. And document it, too! Signed-off-by: Karl Hasselström <kha@treskal.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-04Fix markup in git-svn man pageLibravatar Karl Hasselström1-19/+13
Some of the existing markup was just plain broken, and some subcommand options weren't indented properly. Signed-off-by: Karl Hasselström <kha@treskal.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-04-30git-svn: Add 'find-rev' commandLibravatar Adam Roben1-2/+3

2007-03-13git-svn: add -l/--local command to "git svn rebase"Libravatar Eric Wong1-0/+8
This avoids fetching new revisions remotely, and is usefuly versus plain "git rebase" because the user does not have to specify which remote head to rebase against. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-01Documentation/git-svn.txt: Fix formatting errorsLibravatar Sergey Vlasov1-52/+67
Fix some formatting problems: - Some list labels were missing their "::" characters. - Some of continuation paragraphs in labeled lists were incorrectly formatted as literal paragraphs. - In one case "[verse]" was missing before the config key list. - The "Basic Examples" section was incorrectly nested inside the "Config File-Only Options" section.

Also, it turns out that SVN::Ra doesn't attempt to deal with authentication or pass the username to ssh when doing svn+ssh:// URLs Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: allow metadata options to be specified with 'init' and 'clone'Libravatar Eric Wong1-8/+16
Since the options that affect the way metadata is handled in git-svn, should be consistently set/unset throughout history imported by git-svn; it makes sense to allow the user to set certain options from the command-line that will write to the config file when initially creating the repository. Also, fix some formatting issues while we're updating documentation. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: documentation updatesLibravatar Eric Wong1-34/+81
This documents the 'clone' and 'rebase' commands of git-svn. Additionaly, examples are updated to use them instead of the lower-level 'init' and 'fetch' commands. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: documentation updates for new functionalityLibravatar Eric Wong1-121/+81
Force the showing of the --minimize flag as an option in the 'migrate' help. Also, fix the usage function to correctly filter out the deprecated aliases. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: extra safety for noMetadata and useSvmProps usersLibravatar Eric Wong1-5/+21
Make sure we flush our userspace buffers and and fsync(2) .rev_db information to disk if we use these options because we really don't want to lose this information. Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the command-line because history will be inconsistent if they're only used occasionally. If a user wants to use these options, they must be set in the config so they're always on. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: enable follow-parent functionality by defaultLibravatar Eric Wong1-1/+2
--no-follow-parent disables and reverts it back to the old default behavior of not following parents (if you don't care for full history). Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: reinstate --no-metadata, add --svn-remote=, variable cleanupsLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+6
--svn-remote allows the default remote name to be overridden (useful for tracking multiple SVN repositories). Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: remove the 'rebuild' command and make the functionality automaticLibravatar Eric Wong1-38/+3
Since refs/remotes/* are not automatically cloned, we expect the user to be capable of copying those references themselves anyways. Also removed the documentation for --ignore-nodate while we're at it; it has also been made automatic. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2007-02-23git-svn: get rid of additional fetch-argumentsLibravatar Eric Wong1-24/+0
It's not really useful anymore now that we have a better --follow-parent for the valid cases. Any other use of it is not valid. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+3
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-09Update git-svn manpage to remove the implication that SVN::* is optional.Libravatar Steven Grimm1-59/+6

2007-01-06Documentation/git-svn: clarify dcommit, rebase vs pull/mergeLibravatar Eric Wong1-15/+18
Clarify that dcommit creates a revision in SVN for every commit in git. Also, add 'merge' to the rebase vs pull section because git-merge is now a first-class UI. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-16git-svn: rename 'commit' command to 'set-tree'Libravatar Eric Wong1-10/+10
'set-tree' probably accurately describes what the command formerly known as 'commit' does. I'm not entirely sure that 'dcommit' should be renamed to 'commit' just yet... Perhaps 'push' or 'push-changes'? Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-12git-svn: allow dcommit to take an alternate headLibravatar Eric Wong1-2/+4
Previously dcommit would unconditionally commit all patches up-to and including the current HEAD. Now if an optional command-line argument is specified, it will only commit up to the specified revision. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-28git-svn: documentation updatesLibravatar Eric Wong1-21/+19
Eliminate 'commit' from some places and plug 'dcommit' more. Also update the section --id (GIT_SVN_ID) usage since we have multi-init/multi-fetch now. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-09git-svn: fix dcommit losing changes when out-of-date from svnLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+1
There was a bug in dcommit (and commit-diff) which caused deltas to be generated against the latest version of the changed file in a repository, and not the revision we are diffing (the tree) against locally. This bug can cause recent changes to the svn repository to be silently clobbered by git-svn if our repository is out-of-date. Thanks to Steven Grimm for noticing the bug. The (few) people using the commit-diff command are now required to use the -r/--revision argument. dcommit usage is unchanged.

2006-10-11Documentation/git-svn: document some of the newer featuresLibravatar Eric Wong1-16/+123
I've forgotten to document many of the features added along the way in the manpages. This fills in some holes in the documentation and adds updates some outdated information. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-24Allow 'svn fetch' on '(no date)' revisions in Subversion.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+12
Added --ignore-nodate to allow 'git svn fetch' to import revisions from Subversion which have '(no date)' listed as the date of the revision. By default 'git svn fetch' will crash with an error when encountering such a revision. The user may restart the fetch operation by adding --ignore-nodate if they want to continue tracking that repository. I'm not entirely sure why a centralized version control system such as Subversion permits revisions to be created with absolutely no date/time associated with it but it apparently is possible as one of the Subversion repositories that I'm tracking with 'git svn' created such a revision on '(no date)' and by '(no user)'.

2006-08-26git-svn: add the 'dcommit' commandLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+27
This is a high-level wrapper around the 'commit-diff' command and used to produce cleaner history against the mirrored repository through rebase/reset usage. It's basically a more polished version of this: for i in `git rev-list --no-merges remotes/git-svn..HEAD | tac`; do git-svn commit-diff $i~1 $i done git reset --hard remotes/git-svn Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-25git-svn: recommend rebase for syncing against an SVN repoLibravatar Eric Wong1-2/+20
Does this make sense to other git-svn users out there? pull can give funky history unless you understand how git-svn works internally, which users should not be expected to do. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-25git-svn(1): improve asciidoc markupLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-85/+114
Use list continuation to have better wrapping. This accounts for most of the changes because it reindents a lot of text without applying other changes. Use cross-referencing for interlinking and the gitlink macro for pointing to other tools in the git suite.

2006-07-06git-svn: migrate out of contribLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+319
Allow NO_SVN_TESTS to be defined to skip git-svn tests. These tests are time-consuming due to SVN being slow, and even more so if SVN Perl libraries are not available. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
