Hello!
I am attempting to use git as a local repository to manage the work before checking into the master subversion repository. gerrit is involved in this. I consider the git repository as a mirror of the subversion repository so changes in the subversion repository are fetched using 'git rebase" and changes in the git repository are sent upstream with "git svn dcommit".
I find it inconvenient that the svn:ignore properties are not mirrored into .gitignore files by "git svn fetch", "git rebase", and I assume that changes in .gitignore files do not cause "git svn dcommit" to modify the svn:ignore property.
I would like this feature to be added to git-svn.
As a workaround, I have run "git svn create-ignore" and committed the .gitignore files. This means that I will have to try to remember to do this again whenever any svn:ignore property changes and changes that are done in .gitignore files in the downstream "git repository" will not be considered by svn.
Thanks!
