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,

Cool.

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.
