git-svnimport and tags

Nicolas Stroppa· Oct 13, 2006, 14:44 UTC · lore

Hello,

A small report. (I am using cogito-0.18 and git 1.4.2.3.) I have imported an SVN project using git-svnimport. This project has several tags. Here is what I get with one the tags.

tricatel $ git-cat-file tag `cat .git/refs/tags/alanis-0.9.4` object [...] type commit tag alanis-0.9.4 tagger nico <nico>

If I do the same thing on a git repository created from scratch, I get:

tricatel $ git-cat-file tag `cat .git/refs/tags/alanis-0.9.4` object [...] type commit tag alanis-0.9.4 tagger nico <nico@[...]> 1160736694 +0100

The date information is missing in the first case, which confuses cg-tag-show: tricatel $ cg-tag-show alanis-0.9.4 [...] cg-Xlib: line 215: nico <n (nic * 3600 + co> * 60): syntax error in expression (error token is "(nic * 3600 + co> * 60)")

I don't know if cg-tag-show should be more robust or if the date information should be in the tag.

 Cheers,
 nicolas

  Hello,

Dear diary, on Fri, Oct 13, 2006 at 04:44:55PM CEST, I got a letter where Nicolas Stroppa <nstroppa@computing.dcu.ie> said that...

  I think git-svnimport is broken here, the tagger line is clearly
defined that it must contain the time specification. And git-mktag is
broken as well since the verification of that line is a TODO so we let
the user put any garbage there.
