I know this has been addressed a few times, but since I haven't found any reasonable way to relocate a git-svn repository (after a protocol change, or a server name change) I thought I'd share how I did it. Step 1 is to edit ".git/config" and modify the "url = " line so that it reflects the new repository address. For instance: - url = http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp + url = svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp From now on, git-svn will basically stop working, because the "git-svn-id:" lines in the commit logs will no longer match its configuration. And git-filter-branch is of no use here either, because it will change the md5sum of each commit, and git-svn will no longer be able to track the commits. Step 2 is therefore to temporarily hack git-svn to make it think the commit messages do use the new URL. This is done at the end of the "extract_metadata" subroutine: ($rev, $uuid) = ($id =~/^\s*git-svn-id:\s(\d+)\@([a-f\d\-]+)/); } + $url =~ s|http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp/|svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp/|; return ($url, $rev, $uuid); } This will usually be needed only until the next SVN commit is merged and the git-svn tree is rebased. Hope this can help a few. Unfortunately I don't understand the git-svn source code well enough to work on a cleaner way to do that.
