git-svn: multiple branches directories

git-svn: multiple branches directories

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Hi

Does git-svn support a repository layout where branches may reside under
more than one root?

/trunk
/branches
  branch1
  branch2
  branch3
/somedir
  branch4
  branch5
  branch6
/tags
  ...

git-svn does support it.  The way that I interact with repositories
like this is to have the main git-svn remote track only the trunk
(fetch = /trunk:...), and then to add addititonal remotes for each
branch that I want to track.  There may be a nicer way to do it, but
git-svn certainly supports the method just described.

Thanks for your answer,

I'm afraid I don't follow you. Where do I have to write that and where?

You can just add more svn-remote to a single git repo with "git svn
init". So you could do:

git svn clone -s svn://host/some/repo
cd repo
git svn init --branches somedir svn://host/some/repo/ svn2
git svn fetch svn2

To fetch all new stuff at once, you would then later use "git svn fetch
--all".
