Hey Matt,

Just to add another data point, I've been using git-svn to interface with a svn repo where some of my git branches are matched to svn branches and others are not. In general, my workflow is:

# Make a branch in svn:
$ svn cp svn+ssh://path/to/trunk svn+ssh://path/to/branch/yaml_branch

# Retrieve the new branch metadata:
$ git svn fetch

# Creates a new git branch that mirrors the svn branch:
$ git checkout -b git_yaml_branch yaml_branch

# work on it

# Try a little experiment:
$ git checkout -b experimental_yaml_branch

# work some more

# Bring it all together again:
$ git checkout git_yaml_branch
$ git merge --squash experimental_yaml_branch
$ git diff (* just to inspect the changes *)
$ git commit -a
$ git svn rebase (* don't worry if there was a change before your commit, git will replay yours on top of it *)
$ git svn dcommit

Also, one more tip on OS X:
$ git config --global merge.tool opendiff

Then, if there's ever a conflict during a merge or rebase, using "git mergetool" let's you resolve conflicts in FileMerge.app's nice GUI.

Hope that helps!

hmm maybe I should give git-svn another chance. (it annoyed me so much I went back to svn)

Eloy, would you mind giving a quick rundown of your setup and workflow?

Thanks,

- Matt

$ git checkout -b yaml_branch

# work on it

$ git checkout master
$ git diff yaml_branch | patch -p1

$ git add .
$ git commit -v

Hi everyone,

I've just pushed my work on a new YAML module to the experimental branch (revision 2184). Rather than being backed by the old syck code that 1.8/1.9 use, this is backed by the libYAML library (BSD licensed). As of right now it appears to be about 4x slower than 1.9's YAML module, but there's a lot of room for optimizing my code.

This new YAML module aims to be wholly compatible with the old API inside yaml.rb. Please test this module out, and let me know if you find any inconsistencies or false results. As of right now it passes the RubySpecs for YAML::dump() and YAML::load().

(Oh, and sorry for spamming the macruby-changes list; git-svn applied something like 40 commits at one time. Oops!)
