Re: question: connecting to multiple remote svn projects

quoted

Given a layout in a single subversion repository like this:

module1/branches/1.0/work
module2/branches/1.0/work

I would like achieve the following layout locally, in git:

module1/work
module2/work

Obviously I can create multiple git repositories in separate
directories, but I would like them to be in a single repository. I can
also get the same layout as subversion, but this breaks various bits of
build infrastructure.

Can you just create the file structure you want using symlinks?  That
would be the easiest way.

It would, and this is what I do on Linux. On Windows, obviously, this 
doesn't work.

I don't care about tracking the subversion branches in git, or being
able to switch between subversion branches.

Don't care about tracking *any* subversion history, or just the history
of branches other than the 1.0 branch you've listed above?  I assume the
latter, because otherwise the problem is easy (just copy the latest
revision of the files into a git repo and commit).

Indeed. I want history, but only for a given branch. 

Other options that might work for you: create a "superproject" branch
and import the two modules using git-submodule, or else import them
using git-subtree (http://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree).  Or import
the svn history and then use git-filter-branch to move stuff around.

As far as I can understand, git-submodule pulls in a specific commit,
as does git subtree? I've experimented a little but with not much success.

I want "git svn rebase" (or some equivalent command, or series of 
commands) to update the contents of module1/work to the latest commit 
into this branch, and similarly "git svn dcommit" should also commit into 
module1, module2, etc. Basically, I want my working copy to have the same 
functionality as if moduleX/work was the actual layout in subversion. I'm
using git as a client for a svn repository, rather than doing a one-time
import. Is this possible?

thanks for your help
