Hi,
I cloned a SubVersion repository and am maintaining a Git mirror of it
on GitHub. Here is an example of some of the SubVersion branches that
got cloned.
refs/remotes/cleanroom
refs/remotes/fixes_2_0
refs/remotes/fixes_2_2
refs/remotes/fixes_2_2_0_dos
refs/remotes/florian
refs/remotes/fpc_2_3
refs/remotes/generics
refs/remotes/genfunc
refs/remotes/trunk
...
By default 'git svn' created a "master" branch which tracks
"remotes/trunk". This is currently the only branch available on GitHub
mirror repository and I push it as follows:
On our server which manages the subversion -> local git repos -> github
sync process.
$ cd /path/to/repository/
$ git svn fetch
$ git push github master
This works fine. Now I don't have any other local branches or any local
modifications (I used to have, but reverted all of them) so now a 'git
svn fetch' does clean fast-forward merges without problems.
I currently have the following git config setting for the remote github
repository:
[remote "github"]
url = git@xxxxxxxxxx:graemeg/freepascal.git
push = +refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*
As far as I understand, if I do 'git push github', it is going to push
all the SubVersion branches (as listed above) as heads to GitHub - but
this is not what I want. Many of those branches in SubVersion are old,
outdated or private development areas.
I only want to push the "trunk" and "fixes_2_2" SubVersion branches to
GitHub as heads. How must I change by remote.github.push config setting,
or must I do a manual push as I do with the local tracking "master" branch.
In summary:
* Can I change remote.github.push so that if I run 'git push github'
that it will ONLY push remotes/trunk and remotes/fixes_2_2 to
GitHub mirror
* or must I manually push those two to GitHub mirror as follows
once off create a tracking branch:
$ git branch --track fixes_2_2 remotes/fixes_2_2
then hourly do the following:
$ cd /path/to/repository/
$ git svn fetch
$ git push github master
$ git push github fixes_2_2
Regards,
