Working with git-svn to export changes to Subversion

[Art Haas]

Hi.

A few days ago I posted a message to this list regarding my attempts to
convert the PythonCAD Subversion repository into git. My first efforts
failed, but after several more attempts and some editing of the
git-svnimport code I've been able to convert the entire repo, tags and
all, seemingly successfully.

Having now converted my repo, I'm now tackling the second-half of my
task, which is to figure out how to use 'git-svn' to export my changes
to a Subversion repository. The documentation for 'git-svn' is set up
to guide someone using git to track a project kept in Subversion, where
in my case the code will be kept in git and exported out into
Subversion. I plan on pushing my changes solely to 'trunk', and when
I make a release I want to tag it and push the tag into the Subversion
repository as well.

I'm writing today to see if others using 'git-svn' are currently using
it in the form I'm trying to do, and if so could these people give me a
couple of pointers regarding any tips, tricks, and/or pitfalls that I
may encounter. Thanks in advance for any info you can send my direction.

My thanks also go to everyone that has contributed to the 'git-svnimport'
code, and git itself as well.
