Thanks, but there's still a case that fails.
One common pattern in SVN is to have the feature branch following the
trunk. In git terms, that would mean that the feature branch is
continually rebased onto the HEAD of the HEAD AFAICT (although SVN of
course cannot represent that). The problem with that is, that git
doesn't create a merge commit in that case and git-svn gets confused
again.
git checkout mybranch
git merge master # Creates a merge commit
git checkout master
git merge mybranch # Does just fast forward
Is there anyway to force a merge commit or some other work around?
Thanks,
Björn
