In my job, the official SVN repo was moved from one machine to another.
I do all my work on my git repo and, of course, I work on several things in parallel, keeping a lot of local branches.
Now a need to hack my git repo to track the SVN repo at its new location. I don't want to reclone the SVN repo because it would mean to move all my local branches one by one.
The old machine's name is 'pipeline'. The new one is 'condor'.
I did the following:
$ git gc Counting objects: 1898, done. Compressing objects: 100% (1266/1266), done. Writing objects: 100% (1898/1898), done. Total 1898 (delta 1117), reused 1070 (delta 571)
$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
$ git filter-branch --msg-filter 'sed "s$git-svn-id: svn+ssh://pipeline$git-svn-id: svn+ssh://condor$g' $(cat .git/packed-refs | awk '// {print $2}' | grep -v 'pack-refs') Cannot rewrite branch(es) with a dirty working directory.
Uh? Status finds my working directory clean, but filter-branch seems to disagree.
Thanks in advance.
