Hello, I'm trying to import from another company's SVN server (with their permission of course), however some of their SVN user entries have carriage returns in them. It causes git-svn to die when I use the -- authors-file option, because I can't add a username with a carriage return in that file. (Or can I?)
I see the following options, but I'd love more or easier ones. Here they are: 1. Talk to the maintainer of the SVN server to remove the carriage returns in the names. 2. Edit git-svn.perl and recompile git. 3. Skip the revisions that have the carriage return in them. 4. Don't bother with the authors-file. The SVN maintainer is a great guy but very busy, so I don't know when he'll get to removing carriage returns, or if he'll agree to do so anyway. I'm using an IT controlled box, so I can't edit the /usr/bin/ git-svn file. I switched to a box that I had control over, but the version of git installed didn't have the /usr/bin/git-svn file at all. (I figure it's wrapped up into a single package now?) So, I tried to edit the git-svn.perl file in the source and recompile, but I'm getting an error. Ideally, I need you to give me permissions to the IT controlled box. Can you do that for me? ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group. To post to this group, send email to git-users@googlegroups.com.
