NAME

-git-svn - bidirectional operation between Subversion and git
+git-svn - Bidirectional operation between a single Subversion branch and git
SYNOPSIS
--------
command (see below) to write git commits back to
remotes/git-svn.
-See '<<fetch-args,Additional Fetch Arguments>>' if you are interested in
-manually joining branches on commit.
-
'dcommit'::
Commit each diff from a specified head directly to the SVN
repository, and then rebase or reset (depending on whether or
'commit-diff'::
Commits the diff of two tree-ish arguments from the
- command-line. This command is intended for interopability with
+ command-line. This command is intended for interoperability with
git-svnimport and does not rely on being inside an git-svn
init-ed repository. This command takes three arguments, (a) the
original tree to diff against, (b) the new tree result, (c) the
'multi-init'::
This command supports git-svnimport-like command-line syntax for
- importing repositories that are layed out as recommended by the
+ importing repositories that are laid out as recommended by the
SVN folks. This is a bit more tolerant than the git-svnimport
command-line syntax and doesn't require the user to figure out
where the repository URL ends and where the repository path
--shared::
--template=<template_directory>::
Only used with the 'init' command.

cannot version empty directories. Enabling this flag will make
the commit to SVN act like git.

This gets rid of the git-svn-id: lines at the end of every commit.
The 'git-svn log' command will not work on repositories using this,
either.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-# Initialize a repo (like git init-db):
+# Initialize a repo (like git init):
git-svn init http://svn.foo.org/project/trunk
# Fetch remote revisions:
git-svn fetch

# Fetch remote revisions:

of git-svn commands.
-[[fetch-args]]
-ADDITIONAL FETCH ARGUMENTS
---------------------------
-This is for advanced users, most users should ignore this section.
-
-Unfetched SVN revisions may be imported as children of existing commits
-by specifying additional arguments to 'fetch'. Additional parents may
-optionally be specified in the form of sha1 hex sums at the
-command-line. Unfetched SVN revisions may also be tied to particular
-git commits with the following syntax:
-
-------------------------------------------------
- svn_revision_number=git_commit_sha1
-------------------------------------------------
-
-This allows you to tie unfetched SVN revision 375 to your current HEAD:
-
-------------------------------------------------
- git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)
-------------------------------------------------
-
If you're tracking a directory that has moved, or otherwise been
branched or tagged off of another directory in the repository and you
care about the full history of the project, then you can use
