Re: git svn should refuse to checkin .svn directories

As you might guess I just annoyed my collegues by (temporarily) destroying our svn repo. Nobody could checkout anymore, because I accidently checked in a .svn directory with git svn.

I'm lucky that I'm still allowed to use git svn to work on our svn repo...

Maybe you could add a warning or something else to avoid .svn directories to be ever checked in via git svn.

I'm sure that there is also a config option somewhere to get .svn directories ignored (also subdirs when adding the parent dir?). But this check should really be a default setting to avoid other newcommers to get into trouble because they gave git svn a try.

Cheers,

Well, this isn't a patch to git-svn, but this may help those working with upstream SVN repositories via git and git-svn. Add this as the pre-commit hook in .git/hooks (make sure to make it executable).

#!/bin/sh # # Used in a git repo interacting with an upstream SVN repo, this # pre-commit hook will not allow a commit of any directory named .svn

if (git diff-index HEAD | cut -f2 | grep "^\(.*/\)*\.svn/" 2>&1 > /dev/null); then
    echo "Cowardly refusing to commit an .svn directory"
    exit 1

Perhaps it would help if you clarified why there are .svn directories in your working copy. They are neither required nor created by git-svn.
