git-svn fix for broken symlinks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

There is a bug in older versions of SVN that makes it possible to create
symlinks where the target is not the path to the file, but instead the
content of the target file. The bug is described here [0].

This breaks git-svn because it expects files which is marked as symlinks
to have the content "link: <filename>".

There was a thread about this back in July, resulting in this patch [1]. Is that
patch planned to be merged anytime soon? I'm using it, and it works great
for me.
