Re: How to clone git repository with git-svn meta-data included?

Sam Vilain pisze:

It's up to the git-svn user to make sure that they prepare the refs to
be what git-svn expects.  This is something probably requiring more
documentation and/or git-svn features to be easier.

What I was asking if we should add trunk ref to svn mirror so others cloning it will have
'origin/trunk' reference created automatically during clone process so no extra steps would be needed.

To be honest, I don't understand how Git exactly handles all this refs mapping and rewriting (e.g.
during cloning). Having said that, I cannot foresee all possible implications of choosing particular
method of solving current issues thus asking you.

Would it be the best practice?

Well, obscure stuff should never really be best practice.  The best practice
is to have a single git repository that is where the svn -> git migration
happens.  And git-svn could perhaps auto-init based on information in the
commit log or something.  Best practice is to enhance the tool to work the
way it Should(tm) :)

Cannot follow you here. We want single svn mirror but at the same time we want to our committers to
be able to push back to svn. What has been already proposed satisfies my need apart from the fact
that currently there is  small problem with our mirror setup.
