Help with merge and git-svn

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

 



Hi, first time poster to kernel.org mailing lists, so if I commit a
taboo, please be kind to me :)

I have the following scenario:

[remote deveoper]<===>[shared git repo]<===>[me]<===>[client's svn repo]

So my remote developer and I push and pull to/from the shared git
repo, and then I sync changes to and from the client's svn repo using
git-svn.

My problem is, when I am ready to merge changes from my local master
branch to trunk-local, if I do a "git merge master" and then try to
issue any git-svn commands I get the following errors:
======================
$ git merge master
Updating d88106e..77b86ae
Fast forward
 community/pom.xml |    2 +-
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

$ git svn dcommit
Can't call method "full_url" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 425.

$ git svn rebase
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history
======================

The only way I've seem to be able to remedy this is if I add the
"subtree" merge strategy to the merge command:

git merge -s subtree master

Then git-svn doesn't get confused about it's repo, but when you look
at the repo using gitk, you see something like:

[trunk-local]--[remotes/trunk]  Merge branch 'master' into trunk-local
| \
|  \
|    [master]--[remotes/origin/master]  "Some commit message from the
last master commit"
|    |
|    |
|  /
/

When I use the normal merge strategy then gitk shows all branches at
the same level, but git-svn is of course b0rked.

So I guess my question is, am I stuck using "-s subtree", is this the
right course of action??  Or can I get this to work with the default
strategy?  Is this symptomatic of a messed up or disjoint history
(i.e. early on I did some --squash merges).

I have full control over the shared repo and I don't mind blowing it
away and rebuilding it based on what's in SVN if that's what it takes.

Thanks!

Craig.
