Without this patch, git-svn failed with the error: config --get svn-remote.D2007.Win32.url: command returned error: 1 ...upon trying to automatically follow a link from a child branch back to its parent branch D2007_Win32 (note the underscore, not dot, separating the two words). Note that I have each of my branches defined (by hand) as separate svn-remote entries in .git/config since my svn repository layout is nonstandard. Signed-off-by: Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@xxxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure why sanitize_remote_name is so picky about allowed characters, but underscore should certainly be allowed. I'm worried that this has revealed a more serious problem, since presumably sanitizing the name shouldn't break anything in any case. --- git-svn.perl | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl index 4c9c59b..263d66c 100755 --- a/git-svn.perl +++ b/git-svn.perl @@ -1465,7 +1465,7 @@ sub verify_remotes_sanity { # we allow more chars than remotes2config.sh... sub sanitize_remote_name { my ($name) = @_; - $name =~ tr{A-Za-z0-9:,/+-}{.}c; + $name =~ tr{A-Za-z0-9:,_/+-}{.}c; $name; } -- 1.5.6.56.g29b0d -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
