Hi Michael,
Actually when trying to get a cloned repo linked back to svn I had a tough
time figuring out what would work. The git documentation seems to say you
can simply do the svn init and then the following:
git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn origin/master
BUt this did not work for me. I think it has something to do perhaps with
not having the entire history available. Doing the same fetch as i did for
the initial creation of the repo was the only way i could figure out how to
get the link back to svn.
As for the difference between this and just doing a git svn clone... i am
not 100% sure. I am not sure if you take two separately git svn cloned
repositories if git will consider them to have a shared history or not. If
so having the "canonical" repo is not that much benefit.
