If we support .gitignore <-> svn:ignore in git-svn; bidirectional,

This means that *all* .gitignore files will be translated to svn:ignore
files and vice versa; and the .gitignore files will be NOT be committed
to SVN itself, but present in the git-svn created mirrors.  Recursive
.gitignore definitions will be mapped to svn:ignore recursively on the
client side; and non-recursive ones will only map to one directory.

Sound good?

I may be sleepy at the moment, but the thought of implementing this is
sounding complicated now...


One goal of git-svn is that other users shouldn't be able to tell if a
user is using git-svn or plain svn; even.


But back to submodules, I plan on mapping svn:externals <=> .gitmodules
files in a similar fashion.  .gitmodule files will never be seen by SVN
users, period.

That being said, the first step to submodule/externals support in
git-svn will be to allow /any/ git repository to use a submodule that
points to SVN; and then git-submodule will invoke git-svn if it
sees such a submodule.

Yes, I have a plan, sort of...

Since externals/submodules don't operate recursively in either
system like .gitignore; supporting svn:externals <=> submodules
will be much easier and done first[1] :)


[1] - I've personally rarely bothered with putting svn:ignores in the
repository and have been very much spoiled by .git/info/exclude;
whereas externals support I have semi-immediate use for.
