I have a question about git as well, actually - I could not update the svn metadata, unfortunately, by using git-svn rebase -l (I used your branch on github and the instructions on matplotlib website). It gives me an awful lot of merging errors, which seems to indicate that git-svn is confused about the current state, cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
