Re: git export to svn

Even with init - your going to need to do a fetch so that you have a
copy of the svn in your tree - if the git tree you've already got has
the svn references (take a look at git-log if it seems to have an svn
line in the log then at some point someone pulled in the svn tree into
git) if not your going to effectively be pulling the entire svn tree
into your git tree.

The only other real way to get your changes / patches into svn is to
dump them out as patches and them individually apply / commit them to
your svn tree.

John,

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried that, but got the following error:


$ git clone ../test2/
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/warren/projects/tmp/test2- 
git-clone/test2/.git/
# ...svn test2 dir already created with subdirs trunk, tags and  
branches...
$ git svn init https://svn/svn/SANDBOX/warren/test2 -T trunk -t tags - 
b branches
Using higher level of URL: https://svn/svn/SANDBOX/warren/test2 => https://svn/svn
$ git svn dcommit
Can't call method "full_url" on an undefined value at /opt/local/ 
libexec/git-core/git-svn line 425.

I then tried the hints from here: http://www.basementcoders.com/2008/9/30/git-svn-gotcha 
, but still no luck:

$ git merge --no-ff master
Already up-to-date.
$ git svn dcommit
Can't call method "full_url" on an undefined value at /opt/local/ 
libexec/git-core/git-svn line 425.

The basic way you would want to do it, it attach your git tree to SVN
and then git svn dcommit - which will replay the uncommitted changes
back into SVN - git svn init will do the attachment - assuming that  
your
git / svn repositories are at least based from the same place.

Is there a way to export a git repository along with its history to
svn? (git svn init seems to want to go in the other direction.) I  
know
this is in some sense "going backwards" but I need to commit my work
to a client. Thanks,

Warren
