Fwd: git svn die signal 6

Олег Кохтенко· Jun 15, 2015, 13:54 UTC · lore

Hi great "git crew" member :) I found small, but annoying bug in 'git svn'. If you would try to make any commit with new files (or delete/modify files) which contain in name "@" sign - you'll see crash with minimum information about what's just happened. Such file names are very useful for iOS projects when you can add same pictures with different dimensions with suffix @2x or @3x. In guts, svn uses "@" sign for pin version of file and it's probably confused if this sign presented in file name. For committing such changes thru svn you would use "svn add 'image@3x.png'@". This will prevent such problem.

I hope you can easily find out how to reproduce and fix this issue. Please, feel free to contact me for any details about this.

Best regards

I even found Pull Request on GitHub with useful changes, but looks like there is too hard way to commit changes and author gave up. https://github.com/git/git/pull/62 Probably you can take a short look into it and include this changes in next release.
