As I said, the script /src/subversion/release.sh is the (preliminary)
result of my work.

Let's see, then, if it helps ;-)

Ah. The recommended way to contribute to git is by installing via the
netinstaller; this sets the complete environment up, compiles git and
installs it.
In your case, nothing's lost, however. You should be able to get /git
(and for that matter, /doc/git/html) by
$ cd /
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
But this is not strictly needed if you just want to build subversion. To
do that, a simple
$ /src/subversion/release.sh
should be enough.
But if you want to test git-svn, you need to build git, of course:
$ cd /git
$ make
Then you can test git-svn by
$ cd /git/t
$ sh t9100* -i -v

Thanks, I'll try to integrate them...

Oh yes ;-)

Are those really necessary? I tried without, and it compiled. Also,
python and swig should not have any impact on subversion-perl being built
shared, or crashing.

I installed from scratch (see /src/zlib/release.sh)... but I did not
check if it was built as shared lib or not.

That format is just fine for me.

I'll try without, and if it does not work, we'll know.

I will incorporate your patches, and the recipe to use configure. Will
keep you posted!
