Is git svn compatible with git subtree?

Question

Now that git subtree has been merged into the core git distribution (its also on Msysgit as of 1.8.0), does anyone know if git svn works with git subtree?

Note: I am

Answer 1

I am currently using it. The only issue (or side effect) I noticed, is that if I dcommit into the svn the merge from the subtree is committed as one single commit (like squash); so you will loose the history of the subtree commits in the svn repo.

Answer 2

There is can be a possibility to accidentally mix subtrees together (make an intersection part that can exist both in a parent and in a child subtrees, or in repository root and in a repository subtree). In that case git may throw strange pull errors like ! [rejected] or merge conflicts at auto-merging.

A search for real source of the issue through the mess of conflicts like these can be a real pain.
