Is this feasible? I would like to have the .git directory on another drive than the checkout directory. I could not find a way to detach both. The reason is: there is an exchange area on a very slow network drive and limited space and this is a real nightmare with timeouts. At least the repository operations (synchronization with a svn...
I asked this question originally on SuperUser, but it looks like I'm much more likely to get an answer here. I have git and git-svn installed via Fink. I try to do the following: $ git svn init http://myserver/myrepo Initialized empty Git repository in checkout/.git/ $ git svn fetch error: git-svn died of signal 10 Why is git-svn fail...

git svn fetch ended with "RA layer request failed" how can i resume the fetch ? ...
Where I work, we use a slightly unconventional svn repo layout for projects. It looks like this: project/ branches/ tags/ trunk/ utils/ We're a pretty small company, and most of our projects are relatively small. Each developer working on a project usually has a checkout of the whole repo, and there are some post-commit hooks ...
I have tried the following command on my SVN Repository to clone only a single branch via git. git svn clone http://svn.supose.org/supose/branches/B_0.7.1 but got the the following error message: Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/km/workspace-supose/git/B_0.7.1/.git/ W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist:...
I've cloned a replicated svn repository (svnsync to local file system). All the branches etc. are now available in git. Now i would like to start working on svn branches git checkout remotes/B_XYZ and doing some commits via git. Now i want to change to a different SVN branch via git checkout remotes/B_ABC and doing some changes a...
$ git --version git version 1.7.0.3 I clone an SVN repository, and make a commit: $ git svn clone --stdlayout http://svn/example/project $ echo test >> blah.txt $ git commit -m "Something" When I try and dcommit back to the SVN, I get the following error: $ git svn dcommit Cannot dcommit with a dirty index.

Hello, I'm using git as an interface to an SVN repository. Now I've created a SVN branch: git svn branch my_branch This created the directory in my SVN repository, and also created a branch called remotes/my_branch. Then I've deleted that remote tracking branch: git branch -r -d my_branch Now the directory is still there in the SV...
git push origin master shows an error failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:xyz/abc.git' To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details. What is this? How to recover thi...
I've got a trunk setup where all my production code goes. Then I have a debug branch (parent is trunk) which I add debugging code such as logging, var dumps, etc... this should never be in production. This branch rarely changes. Lastly I have a feature branch (parent is debug) where I do all my coding with the benefits of debugging. Th...
I have never used any version control software before (yes, I know... ;-) and would like to change my evil ways using git. What book would you recommend for the total svn newbie? I will be using a MBP for django and iOS development and a VMWare XP guest for legacy win32 stuff. I'm looking not only for information on the usage of git, b...
In our project we have to commit all changes to the clients svn repository. I want to move our team to git. So I'm thinking I'll need a central git repository that uses git-svn to push to the svn server. My questions: Is there a way I can get the central git repository to automatically push to the svn repository, or would a simple cr...
At my workplace we use SVN for version control. I switched to git-svn when I found out about it, and recently I decided to sync some of my private branches to another remote git repo. The workflow, then, consists of rebasing from and pushing to the SVN repo via git-svn, while working on separate private feature branches that are pushed t...
Basically when i want to commit two separate changes in the same file that resulted from an git add --patch <file> operation, git svn rebase later on throws 1-2 conflicts upon comitting the second change when using git add for the second change. so i'm basically doing this (i'm on master branch and have fetched the svn repository): git...
Is there a program that does what git-svn does, but in a situation where the repository on the server is git, and the developer uses svn? I know that github.com allows svn access to the git repositories they host, but it doesn't look like they've released this project open source (yet?), and using their servers is not an option for me ...
I've used SVN for about two years now (mostly via TortoiseSVN and IntelliJ), and experimented with git (mostly via TortoiseGIT ... detect a pattern here?) Our company is using SVN for the repository, and they're not thinking of switching any time soon. What is the recommended best practices and tooling to use git locally and work with t...
The standard repo layout in svn is as follows. /trunk /branches featureX featureY /tags 1.0 2.0 The repository I'm working with is a much flatter structure. trunk featureX featureY Essentially, trunk is at the same level as the other branches. I can't use the -s or -b option with git svn init because of this. How ...
I want to delete the revision history for a specific file in my Git repository that was made long ago. The goal is to make it look like the file was never committed for a specific revision. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks! ...
