Then you would like Git ignored the same file SVN ignores on that project. To create a real Git repository there remain few things to do. Therefore you can visualize it with your favourite graphical tool, eg. The cloning process creates a real an almost real Git repository, In project directory you’ll find everything but empty directories, because If a committer name that does not exist in the authors file is encountered -authors-file=project_authors_file.txt tell git svn to abort cloning.Git’s own remote-tracking ref layout refs/remotes/$remote/ SVN-tracking refs refs/remotes/$prefix/ compatible with -prefix=origin/ (the trailing slash is very important) makes.-stdlayout tells Git that SVN repository has standard layout:.With the remote trunk/ directory: $ git svn clone -stdlayout -prefix=origin/ \ The following command will create a local directory called project syncronized Saying that no name_surname were found in authors file: I was really shocked! Cloning SVN repository In a newly created project_authors_file.txt, but the cloning process aborted Which printed a username like name_surname. The Subversion repository was hosted on a GNU/Linux machine whereas I was working on a Time ago the solution of automatically extract the authors username directlyįrom Subversion solved me a sly problem with encoding. Where you have to edit NAME and as you whish. you would get a project_authors_file.txtįile which contains rows like these: Ann = NAME If Ann and Bob were the committers' username on the remote SVN repository To get a newly created authors file run at command line: $ sh git_svn_authors_extractor.sh > project_authors_file.txt The script expects as first argument a remote Subversion repository URL.

In order to get an automatically generated to be used whith the Lets you associate every Subversion committer username with the appropriate Repository you need to do some preparatory work: let’s go. This way no one could see your merge commits.Īnyway to work with a remote Subversion repository tracked by a local Git This means you have to merge locally yourīranches into master before interacting with remote subversion repository. I want to stress about using local branches to your benefit only and not toĬollaborate with other committers. temporarily parking last changes to face an emergency, by using git stash save my_current_issueĪnd do all the other stuff you can do locally that make you love Git.using git bisect to find which commit caused a particular bug.including in the current branch a single commit made on another branch, by using git cherry-pick.rewriting commit history, by using git rebase -interactive and the various pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup.preparing to commit only the part of a file you want, by using git add -patch.Local repository and the local working directory. You can get the best of Git working with Subversion interacting between the Git There is no equivalent to git pull because Subversion and Git handle mergesĭifferently, so to prevent Subversion committers saw merge commits a rebase git svn rebase instead of git pull -rebase.Repository you have to be on the local master branch and run: Usually to interact between a remote Subversion repository and a local Git
