Make bare repository out of git svn init

Hi,

Here what I did to make a bare repository out of git svn init. With this repo I do not intend to push to the svn repo nor to commit into branches comming from it. svn trunk will become master and is only fetch, not modified nor rebased (I did not tried to see if it is working tough).

git svn init svn://<host>/ \ --trunk=<project>/trunk \ --branches=<project>/branches \ --tags=<project>/tags \ project.git

cd project.git cat .git/config | \ sed s#:refs\/remotes\/trunk#:refs\/heads\/master# | \ sed s#:refs\/remotes\/\\*#:refs\/heads\/*# | \ sed s#:refs\/remotes\/tags\/\\*#:refs\/tags\/*# | \ sed "s#bare = false#bare = true#" > .git/config.tmp mv .git/config.tmp .git/config git svn fetch git svn gc git gc --aggressive cp -R .git/* . rm -rf .git

Then I have a cron which does a git svn fetch on this repo every half an hour.

I am interesting if you see things I forgot to do or some use cases where those modifications would break anything.

Regards.

So it's not necessary to use a tmp non-bare repo as an intermediate step.
