There have been some git-svn updates - which version of the SVN Perl bindings are you using? ``` ## Martin Langhoff, 2006-11-16 06:59 Subject: Re: how to authenticate with git-svn on a subversion repository Message-ID: <46a038f90611152259w6914c633u8de4adeca5dfa176@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/46a038f90611152259w6914c633u8de4adeca5dfa176%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <4559D37E.1070703@archlinuxfr.org> ``` Hi Comete, authentication with the SVN stuff is really weird. git-svn and git-svnimport use the SVN libraries so that means that if you do svn login proto://host/path/to/repo git-svn proto://host/path/to/repo it works because svn magic cookies get stored in ~/.svn. cheers, ``` ## Seth Falcon, 2006-11-16 15:27 Subject: Re: how to authenticate with git-svn on a subversion repository Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m24pszbede.fsf%40ziti.local In-Reply-To: <4559D37E.1070703@archlinuxfr.org> ``` Comète writes: > hello ! > > i would like to use git-svn to commit some modifications to a > Subversion repository but i don't know where i can enter my username > and password to commit to the repository ?
