Tom- That's consistent with what I've seen done. You have two projects - one pulling from svn, and a separate one hooked up to git. We'll pull down from svn, then rsync over to the github directory and commit. It's very messy. If anyone has some better ideas, I'd love to know. There are also some tools out there that do allow for git-svn behavior with support for externals, but I didn't have any luck using it with a big project.
The git submodule --recursive does work, but you also need to call "git submodule init" for the first time before that. The problem there is if you have one submodule (which has a nested submodule), your project won't be aware of the embedded submodule until you actually init and update the first submodule. I'm sure there's a good solution - I'm hoping someone will hop on here and correct me :) Thanks Ryan Weaver Lead Programmer Iostudio, LLC http://www.sympalphp.org http://www.thatsquality.com Twitter: @weaverryan On Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 9:48 AM, Tom Boutell <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not a git expert (indeed I'm not yet a git user), but the "git > submodule update" command does seem to have a --recursive option.
