And I've gotten sick again this weekend. Tis the season...\n\nStuart:\n\nFor now, running the old style one-connection per-remote config\nmay be the easiest way to go:\n\n------------ in your .git/config: ---------\n[svn-remote \"svn\"]\n url = https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucd-sakai/gradebook-gwt/trunk\n fetch = :refs/remotes/trunk\n[svn-remote \"bloatedGxtAndVanilla\"]\n url = https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucd-sakai/gradebook-gwt/branches/bloatedGxtAndVanilla\n fetch = :refs/remotes/bloatedGxtAndVanilla\n[svn-remote \"pre-GXT\"]\n url = https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucd-sakai/gradebook-gwt/branches/pre-GXT\n fetch = :refs/remotes/pre-GXT\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThen run \"git-svn fetch -i $SVN_REMOTE\" for each svn-remote\n\n-- \nEric Wong\n"}]}
