Question about tracking multiple Subversion repository from the same git repository with git-svn

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Say that I have 3 subversion repository

svn: an online repo which I only have read-only rights.
abc, xyz: two project in two private repo where I have write rights.

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = http://svn.online-repo.com/repos/public
	fetch = path/to/trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
	branches = path/to/branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/*
	tags = path/to/tags/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*

[svn-remote "abc"]
	url = https://svn.local-repo/repos/public
	fetch = path/to/trunk:refs/remotes/abc/trunk
	branches = path/to/branches/*:refs/remotes/abc/*
	tags = path/to/tags/*:refs/remotes/abc/tags/*

[svn-remote "xyz"]
	url = https://svn.local-repo/repos/public
	fetch = path/to/trunk:refs/remotes/xyz/trunk
	branches = path/to/branches/*:refs/remotes/xyz/*
	tags = path/to/tags/*:refs/remotes/xyz/tags/*

Reading the man page of git-svn it seems this is possible and
specifically supported.


But I have some doubt.

Suppose I've already created the project "abc" starting with trunk
copied from a specific commit (tag) of the "svn" project.

1. Is there a way to tell git that abc/trunk is a branch of svn/tags/1.2.3 ?

2. can I rename svn-remote "svn" to something like "main" without side effect?

3. after 2) can I also rename all the names of the remote branches to
main/* instead of svn/* ?

4. if project xyz is no more of interest to me can I "discard" it and
remove the remote branches I don't need anymore?

5. when I'll decide to upgrade project abc to main version 2.0.0 I'll do:
git merge --squash main/tags/2.0.0
is this the best way?

6. after point 5) when I'll further upgrade the project abc to main
version 2.1.0 can I still do:
git merge --squash main/tags/2.1.0
or this will cause me problem? (the rerere option is set to true, so
conflicts already solved shouldn't be asked twice).

7. if the merge --squash cause a lot of conflicts is there a way to
split the conflict resolution across different persons?


Thanks for any help you'll give me.

Regards,
Daniele Segato
