2014-04-19	Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not given	Johan Herland	1	-1/+1
	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.)

2009-08-12	svn: initial "master" points to trunk if possible	Eric Wong	1	-1/+6
	Since "trunk" is a convention for the main development branch in the SVN world, try to make that the master branch upon initial checkout if it exists. This is probably less surprising based on user requests. t9135 was the only test which relied on the previous behavior and thus needed to be modified. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2009-02-11	test case for regression caused by git-svn empty symlink fix	Anton Gyllenberg	1	-0/+16
	Commit dbc6c74d0858d77e61e092a48d467e725211f8e9 "git-svn: handle empty files marked as symlinks in SVN" caused a regression in an unusual case where a branch has been created in SVN, later deleted and then created again from another branch point and the original branch point had empty files not in the new branch. In some cases git svn fetch will then fail while trying to fetch the empty file from the wrong SVN revision. This adds a test case that reproduces the issue.
