The following happens with git 1.6.3. For some reason git-svn sets HEAD to the wrong branch. Not sure what happens here, $self->full_url seems to be used for a wrong purpose somewhere in the code. (you can see a commit on the "tag" branch, which got committed at the wrong place because the user did not notice that HEAD was not pointing to the correct branch) $ git svn clone --stdlayout svn://xxxx/at-remote test [....] Successfully followed parent r3287 = 08b210cf2e97caeb6d431a4a0bc594702aa9c6d2 (tags/luciole-2.0.4) Found possible branch point: svn://xxxx/at-remote/trunk => svn://xxxx/at-remote/tags/luciole-2.0.5, 3352 Found branch parent: (tags/luciole-2.0.5) ddff7cedbd1d66c836153606db1f80ad3ce6b00d Following parent with do_switch Successfully followed parent r3367 = 35b21f3f8e206c391f09a788ba9cb6b35f21752d (tags/luciole-2.0.5) M at-remote r3652 = faeb3bab02016b23a7fb7256bbabea305f599022 (tags/luciole-2.0.5) Checked out HEAD: svn://xxxx/at-remote/tags/luciole-2.0.5 r3652 $ -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
