 759 <div class="sectionbody">
 760 <div class="paragraph"><p><em>git svn</em> is a simple conduit for changesets between Subversion and Git.
 761 It provides a bidirectional flow of changes between a Subversion and a Git
 762 repository.</p></div>
 763 <div class="paragraph"><p><em>git svn</em> can track a standard Subversion repository,
 764 following the common "trunk/branches/tags" layout, with the --stdlayout option.
 765 It can also follow branches and tags in any layout with the -T/-t/-b options
 766 (see options to <em>init</em> below, and also the <em>clone</em> command).</p></div>
 767 <div class="paragraph"><p>Once tracking a Subversion repository (with any of the above methods), the Git
 768 repository can be updated from Subversion by the <em>fetch</em> command and
 769 Subversion updated from Git by the <em>dcommit</em> command.</p></div>

 780 <p>
 781         Initializes an empty Git repository with additional
 782         metadata directories for <em>git svn</em>.  The Subversion URL
 783         may be specified as a command-line argument, or as full
 784         URL arguments to -T/-t/-b.  Optionally, the target
 785         directory to operate on can be specified as a second
 786         argument.  Normally this command initializes the current
 787         directory.

 816         These are optional command-line options for init.  Each of
 817         these flags can point to a relative repository path
 818         (--tags=project/tags) or a full url
 819         (--tags=https://foo.org/project/tags).
 820         You can specify more than one --tags and/or --branches options, in case
 821         your Subversion repository places tags or branches under multiple paths.
 822         The option --stdlayout is
 823         a shorthand way of setting trunk,tags,branches as the relative paths,
 824         which is the Subversion default. If any of the other options are given
 825         as well, they take precedence.

 874 <p>
 875         For transports that SVN handles authentication for (http,
 876         https, and plain svn), specify the username.  For other
 877         transports (e.g. <code>svn+ssh://</code>), you must include the username in
 878         the URL, e.g. <code>svn+ssh://foo@svn.bar.com/project</code>

 885 <p>
 886         This allows one to specify a prefix which is prepended
 887         to the names of remotes if trunk/branches/tags are
 888         specified.  The prefix does not automatically include a
 889         trailing slash, so be sure you include one in the
 890         argument if that is what you want.  If --branches/-b is
 891         specified, the prefix must include a trailing slash.
 892         Setting a prefix (with a trailing slash) is strongly
 893         encouraged in any case, as your SVN-tracking refs will
 894         then be located at "refs/remotes/$prefix/<strong>", which is
 895         compatible with Git&#8217;s own remote-tracking ref layout
 896         (refs/remotes/$remote/</strong>). Setting a prefix is also useful
 897         if you wish to track multiple projects that share a common
 898         repository.
 899         By default, the prefix is set to <em>origin/</em>.

 950         When tracking multiple directories (using --stdlayout,
 951         --branches, or --tags options), git svn will attempt to connect
 952         to the root (or highest allowed level) of the Subversion
 953         repository.  This default allows better tracking of history if
 954         entire projects are moved within a repository, but may cause
 955         issues on repositories where read access restrictions are in
 956         place.  Passing <code>--no-minimize-url</code> will allow git svn to
 957         accept URLs as-is without attempting to connect to a higher
 958         level directory.  This option is off by default when only
 959         one URL/branch is tracked (it would do little good).

2276 copy history (including branches and tags) for repositories adopting a
2277 standard layout, it cannot yet represent merge history that happened
2278 inside git back upstream to SVN users.  Therefore it is advised that

2284 <h2 id="_handling_of_svn_branches">HANDLING OF SVN BRANCHES</h2>
2285 <div class="sectionbody">
2286 <div class="paragraph"><p>If <em>git svn</em> is configured to fetch branches (and --follow-branches
2287 is in effect), it sometimes creates multiple Git branches for one
2288 SVN branch, where the additional branches have names of the form
2289 <em>branchname@nnn</em> (with nnn an SVN revision number).  These additional
2290 branches are created if <em>git svn</em> cannot find a parent commit for the
2291 first commit in an SVN branch, to connect the branch to the history of
2292 the other branches.</p></div>
2293 <div class="paragraph"><p>Normally, the first commit in an SVN branch consists
2294 of a copy operation. <em>git svn</em> will read this commit to get the SVN
2295 revision the branch was created from. It will then try to find the
2296 Git commit that corresponds to this SVN revision, and use that as the
2297 parent of the branch. However, it is possible that there is no suitable
2298 Git commit to serve as parent.  This will happen, among other reasons,
2299 if the SVN branch is a copy of a revision that was not fetched by <em>git
2300 svn</em> (e.g. because it is an old revision that was skipped with
2301 <code>--revision</code>), or if in SVN a directory was copied that is not tracked
2302 by <em>git svn</em> (such as a branch that is not tracked at all, or a
2303 subdirectory of a tracked branch). In these cases, <em>git svn</em> will still
2304 create a Git branch, but instead of using an existing Git commit as the
2305 parent of the branch, it will read the SVN history of the directory the
2306 branch was copied from and create appropriate Git commits.  This is
2307 indicated by the message "Initializing parent: &lt;branchname&gt;".</p></div>
2308 <div class="paragraph"><p>Additionally, it will create a special branch named
2309 <em>&lt;branchname&gt;@&lt;SVN-Revision&gt;</em>, where &lt;SVN-Revision&gt; is the SVN revision
2310 number the branch was copied from.  This branch will point to the newly
2311 created parent commit of the branch.  If in SVN the branch was deleted
2312 and later recreated from a different version, there will be multiple
2313 such branches with an <em>@</em>.</p></div>
2314 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that this may mean that multiple Git commits are created for a
2315 single SVN revision.</p></div>
2316 <div class="paragraph"><p>An example: in an SVN repository with a standard
2317 trunk/tags/branches layout, a directory trunk/sub is created in r.100.
2318 In r.200, trunk/sub is branched by copying it to branches/. <em>git svn
2319 clone -s</em> will then create a branch <em>sub</em>. It will also create new Git
2320 commits for r.100 through r.199 and use these as the history of branch
2321 <em>sub</em>. Thus there will be two Git commits for each revision from r.100
2322 to r.199 (one containing trunk/, one containing trunk/sub/). Finally,
2323 it will create a branch <em>sub@200</em> pointing to the new parent commit of
2324 branch <em>sub</em> (i.e. the commit for r.200 and trunk/sub/).</p></div>

2329 <div class="sectionbody">
2330 <div class="paragraph"><p>For the sake of simplicity and interoperating with Subversion,
2331 it is recommended that all <em>git svn</em> users clone, fetch and dcommit
2332 directly from the SVN server, and avoid all <em>git clone</em>/<em>pull</em>/<em>merge</em>/<em>push</em>
2333 operations between Git repositories and branches.  The recommended
2334 method of exchanging code between Git branches and users is
2335 <em>git format-patch</em> and <em>git am</em>, or just 'dcommit&#8217;ing to the SVN repository.</p></div>
2336 <div class="paragraph"><p>Running <em>git merge</em> or <em>git pull</em> is NOT recommended on a branch you
2337 plan to <em>dcommit</em> from because Subversion users cannot see any
2338 merges you&#8217;ve made.  Furthermore, if you merge or pull from a Git branch
2339 that is a mirror of an SVN branch, <em>dcommit</em> may commit to the wrong
2340 branch.</p></div>
2341 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you do merge, note the following rule: <em>git svn dcommit</em> will

2347 <div class="paragraph"><p>You <em>must</em> therefore ensure that the most recent commit of the branch
2348 you want to dcommit to is the <em>first</em> parent of the merge.  Chaos will
2349 ensue otherwise, especially if the first parent is an older commit on
2350 the same SVN branch.</p></div>
2351 <div class="paragraph"><p><em>git clone</em> does not clone branches under the refs/remotes/ hierarchy or
2352 any <em>git svn</em> metadata, or config.  So repositories created and managed with
2353 using <em>git svn</em> should use <em>rsync</em> for cloning, if cloning is to be done
2354 at all.</p></div>
2355 <div class="paragraph"><p>Since <em>dcommit</em> uses rebase internally, any Git branches you <em>git push</em> to
2356 before <em>dcommit</em> on will require forcing an overwrite of the existing ref
2357 on the remote repository.  This is generally considered bad practice,
2358 see the <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a> documentation for details.</p></div>
2359 <div class="paragraph"><p>Do not use the --amend option of <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> on a change you&#8217;ve
2360 already dcommitted.  It is considered bad practice to --amend commits
2361 you&#8217;ve already pushed to a remote repository for other users, and
2362 dcommit with SVN is analogous to that.</p></div>
2363 <div class="paragraph"><p>When cloning an SVN repository, if none of the options for describing
2364 the repository layout is used (--trunk, --tags, --branches,
2365 --stdlayout), <em>git svn clone</em> will create a Git repository with
2366 completely linear history, where branches and tags appear as separate
2367 directories in the working copy.  While this is the easiest way to get a
2368 copy of a complete repository, for projects with many branches it will
2369 lead to a working copy many times larger than just the trunk. Thus for
2370 projects using the standard directory structure (trunk/branches/tags),
2371 it is recommended to clone with option <code>--stdlayout</code>. If the project
2372 uses a non-standard structure, and/or if branches and tags are not
2373 required, it is easiest to only clone one directory (typically trunk),
2374 without giving any repository layout options.  If the full history with
2375 branches and tags is required, the options <code>--trunk</code> / <code>--branches</code> /
2376 <code>--tags</code> must be used.</p></div>
2377 <div class="paragraph"><p>When using multiple --branches or --tags, <em>git svn</em> does not automatically
2378 handle name collisions (for example, if two branches from different paths have
2379 the same name, or if a branch and a tag have the same name).  In these cases,
2380 use <em>init</em> to set up your Git repository then, before your first <em>fetch</em>, edit
2381 the $GIT_DIR/config file so that the branches and tags are associated
2382 with different name spaces.  For example:</p></div>

2496 commit to a tag will happen in the future. Thus it acts conservatively
2497 and imports all SVN tags as branches, prefixing the tag name with <em>tags/</em>.</p></div>
