I'm not sure if that's true all the time, but it's clear that some arguments will have an influence on the tree of changes (wether branches are included, etc), which in turn will influence the shasums. I gather this is a reason for the man page of git-svn including the following text (at the top of the *caveats* section): For the sake of simplicity and interoperating with Subversion, it is recommended that all git svn users clone, fetch and dcommit directly from the SVN server, and avoid all git clone/pull/merge/push operations between Git repositories and branches. The recommended method of exchanging code between Git branches and users is git format-patch and git am, or just 'dcommit’ing to the SVN repository. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Good powers of observation are frequently called "cynicism" by those that don't have them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
