Re: git-svn and migration

I was prepared to put up with it not being a bare repository (asides
the extra /.git/ in the URL it's pretty much the same).

On the git host I'd set refs/heads/trunk to be
 ref: refs/remotes/svn/trunk

And I'm hoping that a cron of git svn fetch ; git-update-server-info
will do the trick.  It appeared to keep it in sync when I fetch
downstream. I don't know if I'm being naive though expecting that to
work as I don't grok all that git-svn needs to work properly - but I'm
working on it ;-)

My current plan is for developers to push/pull to git to share amongst
the git-devs, and to push to svn when wanting to share with everyone
else..

[svn user] ---(ci/co)--->[svn] --pull--> [git]
                            ^               ^
                           |               |
                          push          push/pull
                            |               |
                           ---[git user]----

I suspect having the git users push/fetch only from svn
would be more reliable.  Won't there be problems if git users
do merges and push to the git repo?

Also, seems like it makes the transition more complicateds for git
users since they have to figure out git-svn _and_ the git push/pull.

Perhaps avoid the central git repo until everyone is on git.  Then
people have to learn not to use git-svn and to use push/pull instead.
