Thank you all for the tips and pointers, especially to Sam, who has given me something to digest, and to Steven, whose mode of operation, "I can vouch for all of that as well. On some of my repositories I use git solely as a fancy Subversion client, no interaction with any other git repositories. And hardly anyone at my company even knows about it"; precisely matches what I am trying to do. It seems that a large part of my original problem was with the fact that FC6 only has git-1.5.0.2 on it. When I installed 1.5.2.2, things started working much more smoothly for me. I still have one issue... say I start a project in git and later want to publish it to the subversion server, history and all... how do I do that? Right now, I do the following: $ svn mkdir url://to/svn/repo/newproject -m "made directory" $ git-svn clone url://to/svn/repo/newproject $ cd newproject $ git pull url://from/project/started/in/git $ git log -- shows the history of my git based project, along with the "made directory" log message $ git-svn dcommit -- commits only a single change to the svn repository with a log message that reads something like "merged url://from/project/started/in/git" $ git-log -- no longer shows the history of my git based project, it just shows the subversion history Is this related to the follow-on discussion regarding handling merges properly? Is there some other way to "export" a git repository to a subversion repository, maintaining the history along the way? Once again, thanks for your help. --wpd - 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
