Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me. I installed git on a Mac and then I copied the install somewhere else (which I do want to do, trust me). I'm now having trouble with git svn. I'm getting "Can't locate Git/SVN.pm in @INC..."
I've added the bin folder to PATH. What else do I need to do? Do I need to use -exec-path=/MyPathToGit/libexec/git-core? How do I change the content of @INC?
Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm not much of a unix man.
Cheers,
James

`git svn` is implemented in Perl (which is supposedly bundled with your
Git package, but I'm not sure), and "SVN.pm" is a Perl module (a
library written in Perl, ".pm" stands for "Perl Module").
@INC is an internal variable used by Perl to locate its modules.
Its contents is partially inferred from the Perl's installation
location and partially from the environment.
This [1] should help you get started with affecting @INC.

Thanks for the help guys. I got it working using --exec-path and PERL5LIB environment variable. But Matthieu is right, I should build it from source to do it properly.
