I try to keep commits made to SVN using git-svn as much like commits made using other SVN clients as much as possible. Two people using git-svn (in its recommended fashion and maintaining linear history) can have identical SHA1s in their repository even if those two repositories had never seen each other before. Consistency is good. I also want to avoid creating extra junk on the SVN repository which I don't personally consider very important. SVK does stuff like that with merges, and only SVK understands the metadata it uses. I prefer transparency. -- Eric Wong - 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
