Hi Eric, all, I decided to give git-svn a try for a large svn project and during my first git-svn fetch operation, I'm seeing a failure that seems related to recent changes in the handling of svn keywords. Here is the traceback: svn: Syntax error parsing revision '.R' 256 at /home/sfalcon/util/scm/bin/git-svn line 1124 main::safe_qx('svn', 'propget', 'svn:keywords', 'Biobase/inst/Code/R/get@PKGNAME@.R') called at /home/sfalcon/util/scm/bin/git-svn line 900 main::do_update_index('ARRAY(0x8395840)', 'add', 'undef') called at /home/sfalcon/util/scm/bin/git-svn line 926 Unfortunately, my project has a file named "get@PKGNAME@.R" and svn thinks the '@.R' part is specifying a revision. Here comes a patch that got me going again. Not sure it is the right fix, nor whether it covers all places where some action will be needed. Best, + seth - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
