Now I have a project (in svn) with some branches in it. I fetched those using git-svn and even when I did a merge in the git working copy it showed up in the right branch in subversion. So far so good. But now there is the fact that our team relies on the subversion properties. Namely the svn:merginfo. Using this information we keep track what features and bugfixes got merged into the release lines. Unfortunatelly they got not set using git as an svn client and this way it is actually not a standard conform svn client. Probably this was not the development goal for git-svn. Then I read about that git does not support properties at all (except the executable attribute). But I also found out that David Fraser started working on a support to set svn properties using git as a client. My question is now how I could check if and when this got/will get merged into the mainline git and if there is allready a feature request for svn:mergeinfo support in git. regards, Tobias
