git-svn and --bare repositories

Aaron Gray· Jul 22, 2009, 20:48 UTC · lore

How do I do a git svn fetch to a bare test.git repository created with :-

    git --git-dir test.git --bare init --shared=true

I have tried :-

   git --git-dir test.git svn fetch http://test.org/git/test

and

   git --git-dir test.git/svn svn fetch http://test.org/git/test     /// 
fictious address :)

but neither work.

As you may guess I am not really sure what I am doing here.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

You need to do "git svn init $URL" from "git svn fetch" (the latter does not take URL arguments)

   git --git-dir test.git --bare init --shared=true

   git --git-dir test.git svn init $options $URL

   git --git-dir test.git svn fetch

I haven't used bare repositories much with git svn, but apparently it still works fine.

On a side note, "--git-dir $foo" really clutters up the command-line for me, I guess I'm old-fashioned and prefer using the GIT_DIR environment variable.
