Subject: [PATCH 0/3] git-svn-externals PoC (in a sh script)
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 03:02:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <60381eeb0808281702q3dc7543enff2b35ebbcc80d08@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have started a while back working on support for svn:externals
support for git-svn, but since I'm not that satisfied with the current
status of the patch, I haven't modified git-svn itself and just left
the sh script I made as a PoC as it was.
There's still work to be done to it, but I the current version is
functional enough to be probably found useful by more people than
myself.
Current status follows:
Current functionality:
- fetches all the externals of an already svn-fetched repo
- support for svn:externals refresh
- if the location of the external has changed, the current working
copy will be placed aside and a new directory will be created
instead
- if the remote URI is the same (maybe a verison bump, there will
be a 'git svn rebase'
- remove support (useful for testing purposes or clean restarts)
- avoid zombie externals at all costs - in some repos empty
svn:externals might exist; svn ignores such externals, so git should
do the same
TODO:
- take into account the revision of an external, if it exists
- do not do deep svn cloning, to avoid legthy operations, just pull HEAD
(this actually needs changes in git-svn itself)
- use/create shallow copies to git svn repos (one revision should be enough
for most externals)
- use submodules for externals
Any comments are welcome.

EddyP
