Hi,

I have a working git-svn clone of a svn based project.

At the mement I have a .sh script run every hour which goes :-

    git svn fetch
    git reset -- hard HEAD
    git svn rebase

I am sure this is like using a hammer to crack a nut.

Is there a better way to do this ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Should be enough ('git svn rebase' runs 'git svn fetch' first), assuming you don't touch the working directory, which you probably don't considering that your script blasts away all changes every hour.

Assuming you don't make your own local changes ever:

  git svn fetch
  git reset --hard $ref

Where $ref is most likely "trunk" if you used -s/--stdlayout or "git-svn" if you did not. Running `git branch -r' will give you a list of remote refs that you can reset to.
