It was delivered, see e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/188265 However, my reply ended up not having a Cc to you because your Mail-Followup-To header fooled Gnus into believing you didn't want that to happen. Please do not set this header; we Cc everyone involved in discussions so far, and MFT makes it that much less convenient to achieve that. Since you are apparently not subscribed (otherwise you should have received my reply), please find a cut&paste of the original reply below. ---- 8< ---- Victor Engmark <victor.engmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > Commands: > > git svn clone -s -r 1:HEAD http://svn/repo > cd repo > git commit [thrice, in master only] Which git version is this? Before 1.6.5 (b186a261 to be precise) git-svn pointed master at the branch where the last commit in SVN happened, which is not necessarily trunk. After that it tries to point it at trunk instead. You can find out, e.g., by saying 'git show' on the fresh clone and looking at the git-svn-id line. > git rebase --interactive HEAD~20 [i.e., started rebase in commits before > the clone] > [Merged two commits I had made *after* the clone] > git commit ... > git dcommit > > This created commits on > <http://svn/repo/branches/branch_name>! Why? Is it because HEAD~20's > git-svn-id <http://svn/repo/branches/branch_name@22481> is on that > branch? The rule is that the commits go to the branch named in the git-svn-id line of the most recent first-parent ancestor of HEAD. You can find the "base" commit in question with git log -1 --first-parent --grep=^git-svn-id: > And more importantly, how do I "replay" my commits on trunk? You need to rebase the commits on trunk, and (very important) strip the git-svn-id lines from their messages. If you only had a handful of commits, your best bet is to use something like git checkout -b newbranch git rebase -i --onto svn/trunk svn/branch_name # or whatever git-svn named the remote branches # edit all the 'pick' into 'reword' # in every commit message editor that pops up, remove the git-svn-id line gitk # make sure that you like the resulting history! git svn dcommit (If you have many commits, git-filter-branch can do the removal automatically, but it's a bit of a loaded gun pointed at your foot.) If your git-rebase is too old for 'reword', you can use 'edit' instead and then, every time that git-rebase drops you into a command line, say git commit --amend # and edit the commit message git rebase --continue -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
