git submodule svn external

Question

Let\'s say I have 3 git repositories, each with a lib and tests folder in the root. All 3 repositories are part of what I want to be a single packa

Answer 1

You can have a forth 'lib' main Git repo, with:

• lib/vendor/package content
• 3 submodules (see "true nature of submodules")

But this reference is totally independent from any 'svn:external' property you may have setup in a mirror SVN repo.

So if you have 3 SVN repos already, you can git-svn them, publish them on GitHub, and then create a fourth repo on GitHub in which you will add those 3 Git repos as submodules, following the submodules tutorial (supposing here you have all 4 repos already on GitHub)

$ mkdir -p lib/vendor/package
$ cd lib/vendor/package
$ for package in a b c d; do
$ git submodule add git://github.com/path/to/$package.git $package
$ done
$ cd ..
$ git commit -m "lib with submodules"
$ git push
