From: Rogan Dawes Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:11:48 GMT Subject: git-svn and renames Message-ID: <46938594.2010607@dawes.za.net> Hi folks, I am trying to push my local changes to an imported SVN project back to the SVN repo. For anyone who cares, this is the WebGoat repository which you can find at http://dawes.za.net/rogan/webgoat/webgoat.git/ I am trying to push it back to the primary GoogleCode repo. I have successfully managed to push 20 or so commits, but I am now running up against a problem with a renamed/moved file. I moved a file from a directory to a subdirectory, and made minimal changes to this file so that it remained a valid Java class. i.e. I changed the package, and a few other minor things. As can be seen at , git detects the rename with 93% similarity. However, when I try to push this change to the Google repo, git-svn dies with the following error: $ git svn dcommit RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/trunk/ webgoat/main/project/JavaSource/org/owasp/webgoat/lessons/DefaultLessonAction.java': PROPFIND of '/svn/trunk/ webgoat/main/project/JavaSource/org/owasp/webgoat/lessons/DefaultLessonAction.java': 400 Bad Request (https://webgoat.googlecode.com) at /home/rdawes/bin/git-svn line 400 [Yes, those paths have a space in them, however this does not seem to have prevented me from committing the previous 20 or so changes.] I noted the following in the git-svn documentation, with regards to handling renames. However, I am not renaming a directory, only a couple of files. ---- quote ---- BUGS ---- We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Any unhandled properties are logged to $GIT_DIR/svn//unhandled.log Renamed and copied directories are not detected by git and hence not tracked when committing to SVN. I do not plan on adding support for this as it's quite difficult and time-consuming to get working for all the possible corner cases (git doesn't do it, either). Committing renamed and copied files are fully supported if they're similar enough for git to detect them. ---- end quote ---- This is using the latest git as of today: $ git --version git version 1.5.3.rc0.81.g1ed84 Any ideas? Thanks Rogan
