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!
