Subject: git-svn: pulling from local mirror but committing via svn+ssh
Message-ID: <8bd0f97a0712200821j778c12a9g9d42bf02482d953c@mail.gmail.com>

i have local (fast) mirrors of the svn trees i use, so i normally keep
everything pointing at those.  when i need to commit, i use `svn
switch --relocate ...` to flip to the svn+ssh master, and then flop
back to the local mirror.  it actually works out nicely.

my reading of git-svn(1) seems to indicate that git-svn cant really
handle switching of repository URLs on the fly ?
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html

i tried tweaking my .git/config and changing the url to my svn+ssh,
but it seems any modification in the URL just causes errors ...
vapier@G5[ppc] git $ git-svn dcommit
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/git-svn line 384.
Committing to  ...
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history

guess i'll have to bite the bullet and just clone the svn+ssh repo :/

(i'm using 1.5.3.7 over here)
