Re: git-svn and SVK mirror between two repositories

hm I am not looking for a complete bidirectional flow. I have a
project (say my great open source project) in svn for which I have
only read access.  Since I don't have a write access, I have a
personal svn sandbox for which I have complete read-write access and I
branch the trunk into this svn sandbox. I commit all my changes to my
sandbox so that I don't loose all my data in case my system fails! I
also setup a local branch to which I can commit when I don't have a
network access.

With Svk it has been (skipping the local branch step for now)
svk mirror <myproject_svn_url>/trunk //trunk
svk mirror <myproject_svn_sandbox_url>/mybranch //mybranch
svk smerge --baseless //trunk //mybranch -m 'first merge'

I also have a local branch in svk: (local branch setup)
svk copy //mybranch //localbranch -m 'local svk branch'

and occasionally enter the following commands to get the latest in trunk:
svk smerge //trunk //mybranch
or
svk smerge //mybranch //localbranch

the UUID and revision numbers in the property will not refer to revisions in
svn://svn.paris.fr/ but to the (private) SVN repository in the SVK depot.

that is scary since I am not sure if I still have that local repository now.

I would look into your patch suggestion for sure, but also open for
other suggestions . I am thinking if I should host the project in a
different public git server  (for now) instead of my svn sandbox and
it will be easier :).
