One thing that I'm not sure yet if it is possible to do is this: can I have a single central git repo that tracks the svn repo, allow several developers to use clone to copy that repo, and each one of them (after proper manual configuration) uses dcommit to push back to svn? All the recipes so far assume that each developer has to go through the initial git-svn fetch and have a copy of the entire SVN repo, and that seems wasteful to me.

The "Basic Examples" section of the git-svn man page describe how to do just that (though only for a single branch). -Adam ``` ## Pedro Melo, 2007-12-09 11:20 Subject: Re: git-svn capabilities Message-ID: <80A466F9-B7D3-437B-8249-DE4E650CE276@simplicidade.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/80A466F9-B7D3-437B-8249-DE4E650CE276%40simplicidade.org In-Reply-To: <475BA95F.7040403@apple.com> ``` Hi, On Dec 9, 2007, at 8:37 AM, Adam Roben wrote: > Pedro Melo wrote: >> I've been following along the gcc/git thread with interest and >> I've used Harvey Harrison recipe >> >> http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/67253 >> >> with success on several svn repos. >> >> One thing that I'm not sure yet if it is possible to do is this: >> >> can I have a single central git repo that tracks the svn repo, >> allow several developers to use clone to copy that repo, and each >> one of them (after proper manual configuration) uses dcommit to >> push back to svn? >> >> All the recipes so far assume that each developer has to go >> through the initial git-svn fetch and have a copy of the entire >> SVN repo, and that seems wasteful to me. > > The "Basic Examples" section of the git-svn man page describe how > to do just that (though only for a single branch).
