# git-svn breaks lots with rewriteRoot 2 messages from 2008-03-08 to 2008-03-08. Participants: John Goerzen. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/12574 ## John Goerzen, 2008-03-08 13:35 Subject: git-svn breaks lots with rewriteRoot Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/slrnft55gq.1so.jgoerzen%40katherina.lan.complete.org ``` I've trying to work with a remote repo. I initially git-svn fetched it using svn://. Now I have been given svn commit access, which uses svn+ssh:// on their server. I edited my .git/config and set url to the svn+ssh address and rewriteRoot to the svn:// address I wasusing before. This appears to work fine for doing more read operations, such as svn fetch. I am having a problem, though, with svn dcommit and svn rebase. I believe both are related to this rewriteRoot. When I run either of these, I see: Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history Looking at the working_head_info and find_by_url subs in git-svn, it appears that neither is considering rewriting. One of them needs to be, I believe, rewriting the URL from git-svn-id back to the "true" URL over on the server. This causes it to never match any of the remote sections in .git/config. I'm not good enough with Perl anymore, and certainly not goot enough with this program, to whip up a patch. Can anyone help with this? ``` ## John Goerzen, 2008-03-08 20:09 Subject: Re: git-svn breaks lots with rewriteRoot Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/slrnft5sjp.if8.jgoerzen%40katherina.lan.complete.org In-Reply-To: ``` On 2008-03-08, John Goerzen wrote: > believe both are related to this rewriteRoot.
