git clone of git-svn tree?

Question

I\'ve got a \'git-svn\' working tree. I\'d like to clone a \"pure\" git repo off this, and then use git push/pull to move changes between the git-svn tree and the git tree,

I have a bridge setup for some of my projects, but it's only one-way from git to svn (providing a public readonly SVN mirror of our git master branch). However, since it works fine it might help you or point you in the right direction in your two-way scenario anyway, as I assume it's git->svn that makes problems, not svn->git:

My one-way scenario: Existing git repository at github, need a readonly svn mirror of the git master branch

• Create and initialize the target subversion repository on the Server:

  svnadmin create svnrepo
  mkdir trunk
  svn import trunk svn://yoursvnserver/svnrepo
  rmdir -rf trunk
  

• Create a mixed Git-Svn checkout and initialize subversion repository

  git svn clone svn://yoursvnserver/svnrepo/trunk
  cd trunk
  git remote add github git://github.com/yourname/repo.git
  git fetch github
  git branch tmp $(cat .git/refs/remotes/github/master)
  git tag -a -m "Last fetch" last tmp
  INIT_COMMIT=$(git log tmp --pretty=format:%H | tail -1)
  git checkout $INIT_COMMIT .
  git commit -C $INIT_COMMIT
  git rebase master tmp
  git branch -M tmp master
  git svn dcommit --rmdir --find-copies-harder
  

• Update the mirror

  git fetch github
  git branch tmp $(cat .git/refs/remotes/github/master)
  git tag -a -m "Last fetch" newlast tmp
  git rebase --onto master last tmp
  git branch -M tmp master
  git svn dcommit --rmdir --find-copies-harder
  mv .git/refs/tags/newlast .git/refs/tags/last
  

This two articles from googlecode might help as well:

• Importing from Git
• Exporting to Git
• Using Git with Google Code Hosting
• Develop with Git on a Google Code Project
