How to switch svn repositories using git-svn?

Question

I have a number of git projects created as clones of SVN repositories using git-svn. We have migrated our SVN repositories to a new provider so the URL has now changed. How can

Answer 1

Following the same url [1], but with an updated solution, it becomes much easier.

Inside .git/config, in the [svn-remote] section, set url to the new URL, and set rewriteRoot to the old URL:

[svn-remote "svn"]
    url         = https://new.svn-server.net/svn/root
    rewriteRoot = https://old.svn-server.net/svn/root

The same can be surely done via the git config ... commands from the guide:

$ git config --local --replace-all svn-remote..rewriteRoot `git config --local --get svn-remote..url`
$ git config --local --replace-all svn-remote..url 

Then it just works, for me I don't have to make any dummy revision even though there's no new revisions on the new server. Interestingly, git svn info reports the same old URL, but with the new URL as Repository Root:

$ git svn info
Path: .
URL: 
Repository Root:
