It is empty. I still don't quite understand why it couldn't do the same thing as the SVN checkout. That does exactly what I expect, it reflects the state of that part of the repository at the time of that revision. Would this be possible, but it's simply not (yet) implemented? The problem I'm dealing with are svn:externals definitions that are pegged to such revisions. SVN checks them out fine, but git svn doesn't, so I have to hunt down the appropriate revision manually. ______________________________ Marc Liyanage www.entropy.ch skype mliyanage iChat liyanage@xxxxxxx -- 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
