[Buildroot] Obtaining old SVN revision

[Will Wagner]

Hello all,

Following the transition to git how can I checkout buildroot to a specific SVN revision?

I had hoped that the SVN repository would remain read only for a while but it seems to 
have gone away. Presumably I can clone git and then checkout back to the revision I want, 
I'm just not sure how to specify that in git. Do I just have to work out what date the SVN 
revision was?

Hmm, that's a mistake - svn should continue to work (read only). I'll
check with the osuosl.org guys. We don't have any links with the
correspondence between svn and git revisions, but I still have my
git-svn tree, so if you give me the svn rev, then I'll look up the
corresponding git revision.

You can checkout older git revisions with git checkout <rev>. Normally
you can also use the date based syntax (see man git-rev-parse) like:

git show @{2009-05-01}, but the commit dates are not correct for the
pre-git commits.

You can see the latest version of your tree using git show (before you
run git pull to get updates), and the information also gets stored in
your rootfs (in /etc/br-version).

"git show" give me a lot of thing but nothing which seems to be a 
revision number. Or it's the first line ?
commit _61aeb6e484041f4bcc399c3eff2702d5464fb8b3_ ?

Thus if I want in some week to download a fresh buildroot with this 
revision, I do
git clone 61aeb6e484041f4bcc399c3eff2702d5464fb8b3 
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
?

Yes. You can get a more readable alias by 'git describe'

No, just git clone like always, and then git checkout 61aeb6e484041f4b
