Hi all-

   I've recently been informed that the Subversion server I and several

others have been tracking with git-svn will be switching from using the

svn+ssh scheme to the http scheme. To handle this, users of svn will be

running `svn switch` to move their working copies to the new repository

URL. Is there some way to do the same for git-svn? I suspect the biggest

complication will come from the git-svn-id: lines in the commit logs,

since changing that line would require changing the commit hash as well.


   Thanks for any advice!


-Adam

Hi,


Or use git-config:


	git config svn-remote.svn.url <url>


Or make it a global alias:


	git config --global alias svn-switch 'config svn-remote.svn.url'


so that you can say


	git svn-switch <url>


Ciao,

Dscho

Will doing this then change all the git-svn-id: lines in the commit logs

for those imported revisions? I'm asking because my understanding is

that git-svn uses those git-svn-id: lines to determine which branch

you're on, and if the URLs are now all out of date won't it then think

it can't determine the correct branch?


Thanks for the suggestions so far.

fwiw If it breaks git-svn, then it's a deep git-svn misconception.

I've always believed that git-svn should always have done what git

checkout --track do, meaning set into the configuration which svn remote

branch you are following.
