Package: git-svn Version: 1:1.4.4.4-2 Severity: normal git-svn fetch --follow-parent does not work correctly for cases where a parent of the directory you're tracking is moved.
eg: SVN server has these files in r1: /a/b/c/1.txt /a/b/c/2.txt /a/b/c/3.txt And in r2 /a/b/ was moved to /x: A /x D /a/b and in r3 some changed text files: M /x/c/1.txt M /x/c/2.txt But if you do this on your dev box: git-svn init svn://SERVER/myproject/x/c git-svn fetch --follow-parent Then git-svn will not pickup that /x/c was moved from /a/b/c, and you only get r3 in your git repo. ie, your git-svn history looks like this: r3: (Commit comment for r3) A 1.txt A 2.txt A 3.txt Instead of: r1: (Commit comment for r1) A 1.txt A 2.txt A 3.txt r2: (Commit comment for r2) <- No files were changed here r3: (Commit comment for r3) M 1.txt M 2.txt My work-around to get complete history: git-svn init svn://SERVER/myproject/a/b/c git-svn fetch -r1 git-svn init svn://SERVER/myproject/x/c git-svn fetch -r2:HEAD echo "<Last commit ID in output above>" > ./.git/refs/heads/master Explanation: The second 'fetch' fetches the listed revisions & connects commit r1 to r2, but it doesn't update your master 'head commit' file. I tried the instructions under "Advanced Example: Tracking a Reorganized Repository", but they didn't work for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages git-svn depends on: ii git-core 1:1.4.4.4-2 content addressable filesystem ii libsvn-perl [libsvn-core-pe 1.4.2dfsg1-2 Perl bindings for Subversion ii libwww-perl 5.805-1 WWW client/server library for Perl Versions of packages git-svn recommends: ii git-doc 1:1.4.4.4-2 content addressable filesystem (do -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
