Re: [CFT] git-svn - almost a rewrite...

Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> wrote:

I've deprecated the names 'multi-fetch' and 'multi-init'; however the functionality they support have been integrated into the 'init' and 'fetch' commands.

Wildcards for branches and tags are now supported. (multi-)init -b/-t will create something like this now:

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = http://server.org/svn
	branches = branches/*/project-a:refs/remotes/*
	tags = tags/*/project-a:refs/remotes/tags/*
	trunk = trunk/project-a:refs/remotes/trunk

I've made --follow-parent the default now. --no-follow-parent reverts back to the old default behavior.

This is in, as is the analogous functionality for svnsync. Please note that these features do add some complexity to how dcommit works which I haven't explored much of. Perhaps Sam knows better what to do with it.

New changes pushed out.

After a few days of dogfooding and nothing breaking; I'd say it's ready for merging into mainline git. One last minute change I made while writing this announcement was supporting invocations from subdirectories.

There's a lot of changes in here; so I don't think I'll bomb the mailing list with 113 patches. Feel free to fetch or clone from the repositories given above.
