Since I'm lazy I just hacked a bit git-svn in order to create a target dir and init it if is passed as second parameter. git-svn init url://to/the/repo local-repo will create the local-repo dir if doesn't exist yet and populate it as expected. Maybe someone else could find it useful lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero - : 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
