Hi,
I'm using git-svn as a tracking-tool for a Subversion repository.
I currently detected an unexpected branch, seeming dead, but visible
using 'git branch -a'. I checked the svn log and saw that someone has
moved/renamed a branch. That results in a deletion of the old branch and
an adding of a copy of the old branch with the new branch name.
The scenario is like that:
$ git branch -a
* master
remotes/svnrepos/git-svn-test
# Rename the branch (move) in the SVN-repos
$ svn mv https://svn.repos/branches/git-svn-test
https://svn.repos/branches/git-svn-test-new
# Update git-repository
$ git svn fetch
$ git branch -a
* master
remotes/svnrepos/git-svn-test
remotes/svnrepos/git-svn-test-new
You see the problem. Within Subversion simply a new repository version
now no longer "showing" the git-svn-test-branch was created. But within
git both branches stay visible.
Well, I know that renaming a branch is really not that favoured action.
But I expected that git-svn gathers also this deletion and removes the
obsolete branch.
So, am I doing something wrong? Or am I expecting the wrong behaviour?
Or is that simply a feature, not a bug, and must be handled manually?
