Hi, I'm trying to sync one SVN repository to a sub directory of a second one using git-svn. I'll show how I'm mostly successfully doing that below. The problem I'm having is that I want the original commit author names to be preserved in the sync'ed repository. git-svn's man page talks about --use-log-author and --add-author-from which looks like just the ticket, however when I try to use the first to create the upstream connection I get:
Unknown option: use-log-author And, similar when I add --add-author-from to create my downstream connection it complains that this flag is also unknown. I'm using 1.5.6.5 and have also tried 1.6.4.4. These flags were supposed to be added in 1.5.4. I tried sussing out the git & git-svn code but didn't get very far and google failed me. Any ideas? -Brett. PS: for the record, and not that the details matter but here is how I am doing the sync w/out the problematic flags (watch for line wrap) # Initialize repository git-svn --id=upstream --svn-remote=upstream init --use-log-author --prefix=upstream/ --user=USER http://upstream.example.com/svn1/package git svn --id=downstream --svn-remote=downstream init --use-log-author --add-author-from --user=USER https://downstream.example.com/svn2/path/to/subdirectory/package git-svn fetch upstream git-svn fetch downstream git-checkout -t -b local-upstream upstream git-checkout -t -b local-downstream downstream # To do a sync: git checkout local-upstream git rebase local-downstream git checkout local-downstream git rebase local-upstream git-svn dcommit git branch -D local-upstream git checkout -t -b local-upstream upstream -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
