Equivalent of `svn switch` for git-svn?

Equivalent of `svn switch` for git-svn?

[Adam Roben]

Hi all-
   I've recently been informed that the Subversion server I and several 
others have been tracking with git-svn will be switching from using the 
svn+ssh scheme to the http scheme. To handle this, users of svn will be 
running `svn switch` to move their working copies to the new repository 
URL. Is there some way to do the same for git-svn? I suspect the biggest 
complication will come from the git-svn-id: lines in the commit logs, 
since changing that line would require changing the commit hash as well.

   Thanks for any advice!

-Adam

Or use git-config:

	git config svn-remote.svn.url <url>

Or make it a global alias:

	git config --global alias svn-switch 'config svn-remote.svn.url'

so that you can say

	git svn-switch <url>

Ciao,

Will doing this then change all the git-svn-id: lines in the commit logs 
for those imported revisions? I'm asking because my understanding is 
that git-svn uses those git-svn-id: lines to determine which branch 
you're on, and if the URLs are now all out of date won't it then think 
it can't determine the correct branch?

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

  fwiw If it breaks git-svn, then it's a deep git-svn misconception.
I've always believed that git-svn should always have done what git
checkout --track do, meaning set into the configuration which svn remote
branch you are following.
