2007-05-13	git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default	Eric Wong	1	-3/+4
	For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect to the root of the repository or at least the level that houses branches and tags as well as trunk. However, users that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have no use for this feature. As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository. While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed. For people used to the git-svnimport switches of --trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL isn't of too much use to them, either. For people not used to git-svnimport, git-svn also supports: git svn init --minimize-url \ --trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \ --branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \ --tags http://repository-root/foo/tags And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.
2007-02-23	git-svn: fix useSvmProps, hopefully for the last time	Eric Wong	1	-0/+51
	svm:mirror is not useful at all for us. Parts of the old unit test were broken and based on my misunderstanding of the svm:mirror property. When we read svm:source; make sure we correctly handle the '!' in it: it is used to separate the path of the repository root from the virtual path within the repository. We don't need to make that distinction, honestly! We also ensure that subdirectories are also mirrored with the correct URL if we're using useSvmProps. We have a new test that uses dumped repo that was really created using SVN::Mirror to avoid ambiguities and mis-understandings about the svm: properties. Note: trailing whitespace in the svm.dump file is unfortunately a reality and required by SVN; so please ignore it when applying this patch. Also, ensure that the -R/--remote/--svn-remote flag is always in effect if explicitly passed via the command-line. This allows us to track logically different mirrors sharing the same URL (probably common with SVN::Mirror/SVK users). Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
