Dear all,
I haven't found an easy solution for when a git-svn SVN server changes
its address, but I think the attached patch implements a solution
useful for others as well.
In plain svn this is the "svn switch --relocate URL1 URL2" command to
change the URL of a working copy from URL1 to URL2. In git-svn, there
didn't seem to be a suitable command available. What I found were the
instructions here
http://translate.org.za/blogs/wynand/en/content/changing-your-svn-repository-address-git-svn-setup and some other google hits related to this one. The instructions from the wynand blog uses git-filter-branch, and the instructions were complete enough so that an all-in-one shell script wasn't too difficult to write. So the attached script implements this: Just call "git-svn-relocate URL1 URL2" and all the rest should happen
automatically.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Christian Stimming

If you can put this script somewhere (e.g. GitHub, or repo.or.cz), could you
please add information about it to InterfacesFriontendsAndTools page on Git
Wiki (http://git.wiki.kernel.org)?
Alternatively, perhaps you could send it as a patch adding it to somwehere
in the contrib/

This is part of the "Reconstructing git-svn metadata after a git
clone"[1] problem for which there's an open thread. You have to
rewrite history using git-filter-branch to fix the branch references
if you need to change the SVN URL.
It would be nice if you could specify that sed replacement in some
git-svn config file if you needed to change e.g. someone's http://
clone to a svn+ssh:// clone without rewriting the whole thing.
Would that sort of thing be possible? Eric?

Does the existing rewriteRoot configuration option work for this?
(I had almost forgotten about it myself :x)
