The documentation for git svn claims that this should work:
git svn reset -r2 -p
git svn fetch
But when I tried it (using an SVN tree that has recent commits only in
a branch, not the trunk), it didn't work correctly. "fetch" grabbed
just the latest version from SVN, and not all revs from <revnum> to
the head! Note that it matters that this is in an SVN branch-- if I
repeat the test using revs in the trunk, everything works as expected.
Specifically, what I did was this:
git co -b testing refs/remotes/test-branch
git svn fetch
git svn reset -r 850
# does correctly rewind to rev 850, undoing commits in test-branch
git svn fetch
# oops, only fetches the *head* revision (rev 856) from SVN!
# In refs/remotes/test-branch, SVN rev 850 is now followed by 856!
I then tried this again, but between reset and fetching I manually
edited .git/svn/.metadata and moved back the *-maxRev versions to 850;
after doing this, the fetch does the right thing. I tried examining
the logic in git-svn.perl to figure out why this happens and why it
would be affecting a branch but not the trunk, but I didn't get very
far.
I can reproduce the problem on Linux (git version 1.7.2.1) and Windows
(Git for Windows version 1.7.3.2.msysgit.0.4.ga4f3f or Cygwin git
1.7.2.3).
Thoughts?
