Hi. The git-svn Ubuntu packager asked me to forward this here. Summary: When converting a subversion repository to GIT using git-svn, the tags do not have the right parent. Each tag should be identical to a trunk revision (which it was copied from), but because git-svn uses an earlier revision as the parent it appears that the same work was duplicated on two branches. Example: git-svn clone https://zero-install.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zero-install -T trunk/0publish -r1890:2072 -b releases/0publish The git branch comes from r1894, yet the svn log shows that in includes files from r2070: $ svn log https://zero-install.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zero-install -r2071 -v r2071 | tal197 | 2007-11-10 19:40:45 +0000 (Sat, 10 Nov 2007) | 1 line Changed paths: A /releases/0publish/0publish-0.12 (from /trunk/0publish:1968) R /releases/0publish/0publish-0.12/0publish (from /trunk/0publish/0publish:2070) R /releases/0publish/0publish-0.12/0publish.xml (from /trunk/0publish/0publish.xml:2070) R /releases/0publish/0publish-0.12/release.py (from /trunk/0publish/release.py:2069) Released 0.12 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-core/+bug/163341 Thanks, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emil Sit <sit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 7 Apr 2008 20:56 Subject: [Bug 163341] Re: git-svn gets wrong parent revision for tags I know that git-svn may rely on various conventions for the use of git and use of svn but since I'm not really familiar with either, it sounds like this should best be handled by the upstream developers. Git does not use a dedicated bug tracker but handles issues on the mailing list git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you submit your patch there, you should get a pretty fast response and you can follow up with this bug. In any event, if the bug is fixed upstream, the next version of Ubuntu will probably include the fix automatically. Can you handle the follow-up with the official git developers?
