I have actually havestarted a project (using git) that wants to use SVN-hosted repositories directly submodules; so the fact that I'll actually need something likeit bodes well for getting it implemented :)Hehe. Thanks!
Thanks for making this another thread because I didn't read the answers to that patch and I was going to try and implement this (svn:externals via submodules) sooner or later. Hadn't I seen this, we'd probably end up duplicating effort. Maybe I can help with the implementation?
This week I'm probably going to start to dive in git-svn by implementing simpler things first: - git svn create-ignore (to create one .gitignore per directory from the svn:ignore properties. This has the disadvantage of committing the .gitignore during the next dcommit, but when you import a repo with tons of ignores (>1000), using git svn show-ignore to build .git/info/exclude is *not* a good idea, because things like git-status will end up doing >1000 fnmatch *per file* in the repo, which leads to git-status taking more than 4s on my Core2Duo 2Ghz 2G RAM) - git svn propget (to easily retrieve svn properties from withing git-svn). git svn propset would be nice too, but I guess it's harder to implement.
