[git-users] Re: svn remove branch not passed through to git
Yes, this is true. By default, you'll get a lot of stale branches in your fetching repo. For the time being, I've ignored this. I regularly clean it up. Say I have a mirror of a svn repo with trunk, tags/1.0 and a branch branches/1.0.x: Fetching repo: tfnico:~/git-repos/website-fetching/git branch -a * master remotes/1.0-x remotes/tags/1.0 remotes/trunk Bare repo: tfnico:~/git-repos/website.git/git branch 1.0-x tags/1.0 trunk Notice the 1.0-x branch. Now I remove the branch in SVN: svn rm file:///Users/tfnico/svn-repos/main/website/branches/1.0-x I run sync in the fetching repo: tfnico:~/git-repos/website-fetching/git svn fetch;git push origin Everything up-to-date So, nothing changed there. The deletion of the branch was not propagated, and the 1.0-x branch still present. I now start cleaning up by removing it in the fetching repo: tfnico:~/git-repos/website-fetching/rm .git/refs/remotes/1.0-x tfnico:~/git-repos/website-fetching/git branch -a * master remotes/tags/1.0 remotes/trunk Now sync again: tfnico:~/git-repos/website-fetching/git svn fetch;git push origin Everything up-to-date So, the branch is not recreated. Now clean up in the bare repo: tfnico:~/git-repos/website.git/rm refs/heads/1.0-x tfnico:~/git-repos/website.git/git branch rm tags/1.0 trunk Now, branch is gone is forever, unless we later on do a full git svn clone (which recreates all previous branches, also the removed ones). It's a bit messy, but think of it as manual maintenance you just have to do once in a while. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

A particular branch was removed from the repository using svn (call it old_branch). THe browser shows that old_branch has been removed and is not in the http index.
