This upstream repository has several "user" SVN properties (i.e., not in the svn: namespace). A recent git-svn dcommit resulted in one of these properties being reverted. Here's what happened. I started a git-svn dcommit of 3 very large commits. In between commits 2 and 3, a commit was made by another person that changed one of our user properties. When git-svn sent the third commit, it also reverted the property to its value before the other's user's change. Why did that happen? Surely it isn't expected behavior. Glancing through git-svn, I don't see anywhere that it deals with properties directly, outside of svm/svnsync properties. Thanks for any help or insight you can provide -- -Steven Walter Freedom is the freedom to say that 2 + 2 = 4 B2F1 0ECC E605 7321 E818 7A65 FC81 9777 DC28 9E8F ``` ## Eric Wong, 2008-04-07 07:40 Subject: Re: git-svn stomps on user properties Message-ID: <20080407074044.GA12394@muzzle> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080407074044.GA12394%40muzzle In-Reply-To: <20080320170108.GA27194@dervierte> ``` Steven Walter wrote: > I'm using git-svn to track an upstream subversion repository.
