git-svn: peeking into another repo

Yann Dirson· Jun 13, 2009, 22:53 UTC · lore

Hi Eric,

I have started to work on conversion of svn:externals into git submodules [1].

I need to access the revmap of the submodules git-svn repos, but at first glance I'm under the impression the Git::SVN class is not able to provide me that support. Do you confirm this ? What approach would you advise ?

Best regards,

Huh? I don't see why not, all the rev_map_* and *_rev_map_* are defined in Git::SVN.

One thing you need to be careful with when dealing with multiple SVN repositories however is that the SVN::Ra class doesn't behave well with multiple repositories (or even connections to different directories/branches) in the same process.

Sorry it's taken taken so long to respond to these messages. I've had very limited Internet access the past few weeks and have been busy with non-computer stuff.
