I don't agree, imagine implementing hg-remote-svn (or the conceptual equivalent at least), it would require the same functionality, yes? You need to retrieve something from fast-import that you previously gave it. > We'll get ideas to improve this as svn-fe gets built up.

Hmmm, that would be somewhat difficult I suspect, the reason git-remote-testgit was so easy to write is because git-fast-export and git-fast-import do exactly what I wanted to test. You'd have to teach munge the fast-export stream even more to insert this feature somehow, I suspect that'll be a non-trivial feat. Of course, you will need to test it somehow, I suspect that Jonathan's current approach (using hardcoded streams) might be the easiest. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier -- 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
