Yes, that's exactly what the rewrite-url was introduced for, you can even clone from a local svnsync mirror (iff the UUID matches, you have to setup the mirror in a special way ...). So, every developer must use: $ git svn clone --rewrite-root CANONICAL-URL-NEVER-TO-CHANGE <whatever-url-is-convenient> Oh, and all devs must use the same authormap (or no authormap at all). hth, Uli -- 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
