How to set Subversion properties with git-svn

Question

Is there a way to set subversion properties on a git repository that was created by git-svn?

In my case, I want to edit the version of svn:external, svn:ignore and svn:executable.

However, the only way to do so seems to involve a check-out with the subversion client. Is there a way to edit svn properties without having to check out the repository twice (one time for git and one time with svn for the properties)?

Answer 1

git-svn does not support Subversion properties. When I run into this problem, I usually end up having two checkouts.

This is mentioned in the git-svn documentation under BUGS:

We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Any unhandled properties are logged to $GIT_DIR/svn/<refname>/unhandled.log

Started working on a patch to support git svn propset here: git svn propset support
