Re: Help with git-svn and SVN symlinks

[Sadystio Ilmatunt <urkpostenardr@gmail.com>]

Any update about this:

I created this simple bug test to reproduce my problem.
I tried on latest GIT, It fails.
It is really preventing me from using GitSvn.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Let me know if you have any questions.

[GITSVN] $git --version
git version 1.8.2.GIT
[GITSVN] $git svn --version
git-svn version 1.8.2.GIT (svn 1.5.7)



#Create svn repo
cd /tmp;
mkdir git-svn-prob;
cd /tmp/git-svn-prob;
/usr/bin/svnadmin create SVNTest-repo
svn co file:///tmp/git-svn-prob/SVNTest-repo SVNTest
cd SVNTest
echo "stuff in h" > h
echo -n  "link h" > hl
svn add h hl
svn commit -m "Adding two files";

#Create GIT-svn repo
cd ..;
mkdir GITSVN
cd  GITSVN
git svn init  file:///tmp/git-svn-prob/SVNTest-repo;
git svn fetch

# In SVN Repo, Modify hl to be link from file
cd ..
cd SVNTest;
svn ps svn:special '*' hl
rm hl
ln -s h hl
svn ci -m "Exisitng file modified to be link";
cat hl; 

# Fetch latest SVN rev and see problem

cd GITSVN;
git svn fetch;
git co git-svn -f
cat hl; 
diff hl ../SVNTest/hl  # Fails, Should succeed
