git-svn: what's the equivalent to `svn switch --relocate`?

Question

An svn repository I\'m mirroring through git-svn has changed URL.

In vanilla svn you\'d just do svn switch --relocate old_url_base new_url_base.

Answer 1

The above git svn rebase -l solution didn't work for me. I decided to go about it a different way:

1. Clone old SVN repo into git repo old and new SVN into git repo new
2. Fetch old into new
   • cd new
   • git fetch ../old
   • git tag old FETCH_HEAD
3. Rebase new on top of old (should succeed because the trees in the root of new and the tip of old are identical)
   • git checkout master (Assumes that the master branch is pointing at the SVN head. This will be the case with a clean clone; otherwise dcommit before you start.)
   • git rebase --root --onto old
4. Rebuild the git-svn metadata of new to account for the rebase
   • git update-ref --no-deref refs/remotes/git-svn master (adjust the remote ref depending on how you cloned, e.g. it could be refs/remotes/svn/trunk)
   • rm -r .git/svn
   • git svn info
