One rather big drawback is that "git svn dcommit" has to do some history-rewritting. In other words, if you have a local commit A in your repository, and send it to the SVN server with "git svn dcommit", then A is rewritten into A' (same tree content, but different commit message at least, and maybe other details I'm not aware of). If you use git-svn as a "better SVN client", it's not a problem, but if you want to really use the Git part of git-svn, then this history rewritting will break the local branches that reference your A. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
