I'm working on cloning the MediaWiki (a common wiki engine, used to power
e.g. wikipedia.org) Subversion tree using git-svn. It has this peculiar
layout:
$BASE/trunk/phase3 is the project trunk
$BASE/tags/TAG_NAME/phase3 is the tag TAG_NAME
$BASE/branches/BRANCH_NAME/phase3 is the branch BRANCH_NAME
"phase3" is not the only directory in e.g.
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_12/ - there is
also an "extensions" directory, a snapshot of MediaWiki extensions for
that branch. But those are truly separate projects with separate
contributors, and have to be installed in a separate place.
When cloning other svn repositories, I saw that strange layouts can be
accommodated by just cloning the trunk. But in this case,
I considered using git-svn like this:
$ git svn http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/ -t
tags/phase3/ -b branches/phase3/ -T trunk/phase3/
But that wouldn't be correct, since it wouldn't actually pick up the tag
or branch names!
Is there a way to get git-svn to handle this situation? Perhaps git-svn
has a "suffix $DIR to the repository URL" option that I missed. If not,
is it conceivable it could?
