Re: merging commit history

2013-07-16 Thread Stephen & Linda Smith
I did as Andrew suggested and created two git repositories  with one  branch 
using oldCM history and the second branch using having the svn history.  

Then I checked out the svn branch and rebased onto oldCM.   The head of the 
combined branch is named master.

How do I manually set git/git-svn up so that HEAD  points to -r rev  in the svn 
repository?Googling doesn't come up with a solution; I previously thought 
google knows all.

When done, I would like git svn dcommit to be able to commit to the svn repo.

Thanks
sps

There may be other tools that make this easier, but if I had this
problem I would simply create two repositories, one for oldCM and one
for SVN. I would then merge the two together (as branches with
different roots) and do my rebase from there.

I haven't tried this, and maybe there is something I am missing, but
there shouldn't be too much pain going that way.
