git svn show-externals output format

Hi all,

I am playing with svn-to-git conversion and wanted to have a look at the svn:externals of a test SVN repository.

$ git svn clone svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/svn-to-git/code/ svn-to-git-code

The SVN repo in HEAD revision contains three externals:

$ cd svn-to-git-code $ git svn show-externals

# /trunk/ /trunk/https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gc-webdav/svn webdav /trunk/https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gc-webdav/svn@1 webdav-at-revision

# /trunk/sub directory/ /trunk/sub directory/https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gc-webdav/svn 'webdav in subdir'

An earlier version contains just one external:

$ git svn show-externals --revision 8

# /trunk/ /trunk/webdav https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gc-webdav/svn/

It seems like the output is inconsistent. In SVN revision 8 the output looks like it's formatted like <path> <URL>

In the HEAD revision it looks mangled <path prefix><URL> <path suffix>

This makes consuming the output of git svn show-externals in HEAD difficult because the parts are not clearly separated by space and sometimes the path is the first element, sometimes it's a combination of first and last elements.

I am able to checkout both revisions including externals using native svn.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Alex
