subgit

I've started evaluating a piece of software called subgit which seamlessly allows you to interface a repo with either SVN or GIT. Throughout our organization we interface our repos using apache, and trying to combine this with GIT becomes somewhat troublesome. Overall we want to permit read-access without authentication, and write should be authenticated, this works fine with SVN but doesn't seem to be as straight-forward with GIT. In addition to this it would be neat to have apache identify whether it's a GIT/SVN request and figure out where to point the client so that you can use the same

I'm testing SubGit as a way of migrating from SVN to Git. What I would like to do is be able to create remote branches in the git repository that all users can use that does not sync back to SVN. I only want SubGit to track the master branch and sync it back to SVN so that we have the freedom to use and share other Git branches. Is there a simple way to do this? Thank you The ideal solution would be specifying trunk:refs/heads/master mapping in SubGit configuration , so SubGit would synchronize trunk with master ignoring any other branches. Unfortunately, SubGit needs at least one branches

I am trying to use SubGit but I am facing a problem with branches: I would like branches created under Git to live and die inside Git only. I found this: SubGit: How to exclude branches? , but it says The troubles come from merge commits: if commit A is the result of merging branch foo into master, then SubGit creates branches/foo on Subversion side for corresponding parent of commit A. . If you'd prefer to not include SubGit generated branches into branches/* namespace, consider using some special branches on Subversion side as well I don't want to mess with the SVN because I am evaluating

I'm using Subgit to access a Subversion repo. It works great, but at times, especially when communicating with users who access the repo using an ordinary Subversion client, I'd really like to find to which SVN revision a particular changeset corresponds. Can I, using git find the SVN revision number somewhere in my local repo? Yes, you can do that easily. You should just modify your .git/config file in the cloned Git repository to add [remote "origin"] ... fetch = +refs/svn/map:refs/notes/commits option and then run git fetch , as it is described in "Recommended client-side Git configuration"

Does subgit support multiple 'branches' directories? For example, if one had an SVN repo that went like: trunk/... branches/<branch>/... releases/<release>/... tags/<tag>/... but "releases" was really just release branches. We would want both "branches/" and "releases/" in SVN to become branches in Git. And if a new branch was created in Git, then in SVN we would want a new directory in "branches/" (i.e. "releases/" is deprecated). So what we want is multiple branch mappings, but with with one of them being the "primary" one. Yes, since version 2.0 you can specify 'branches' option in SubGit
