How it works with svn-dcommit rewriting commits? > Has the sharing of git-notes been improved to the point where that > could be done similarly transparently? First, the idea was to do it optionally. In addition to existing and discouraged `svn.noMetadata` / `--no-metadata` git-svn would acquire `svn.metadata` / `--metadata` / `--svn-metadata` = none | notes | commits that would as one option put 'git-svn-id:' lines or their equivalent to git notes. Second, from what I understand from the very beginning git-notes was designed in such way that sharing notes is sharing ref. git-replace shares this feature. But please take above with a grain of salt, having never used notes before, and not being developer of this subsystem. -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- 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
