I resynchronized the fetch and bare repositories to the main svn repository.
On my local platform I checked out a different branch and then checked out the test branch to ensure that I got the correct files. I made sure to do a git pull --rebase --all The files were then fully synchronized. I then made a change in an svn working directory to file README.txt and checked it in to the svn repository. I *did not* update the fetching git repository as I wanted to test what would happen if someone updated via git and git svn in between runs of the cron job. svn ci -m "svn change to README.txt" I then made a different change (in a nonconflicting area of the file) to README.txt git commit -a -m "git change to README.txt" After the git commit, git status shows that my local is ahead of the origin by 1 commit. Both changes added a comment line to the file. git update-ref refs/remotes/testbranch refs/remotes/origin/testbranch git svn dcommit --verbose Committing to https://svnrepo/MyProject/branches/testbranch ...

I ran "git mergetool" and it automatically resolved the conflict by accepting the two lines that had been entered. I then ran "git rebase --continue" and the pull rebase finished successfully.

Apparently, "git svn dcommit" must be set up to trigger a rebase in the fetch directory with a 'push --mirror' from the fetch repo to bare repo. Otherwise, this problem could happen whenever we are attempting to dcommit to the svn repo. -- Sabba - סבא הלל - Hillel Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz | Said the fox to the fish, "Join me ashore" sabbahil...@gmail.com | The fish are the Jews, Torah is our water http://sabbahillel.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
