svn-externals

I am migrating from an svn repository to git. This svn repository has svn-externals, to be kept on svn repositories. These external are versioned and tagged in the history, and are read only. How I can properly migrate and have the svn-externals in the new git repository properly set? I am looking in "git svn propset", git submodules, subtree merges. But How I can set up such a repository? Alternatively, I propose: Use a modified version of this simple old python script, that works: https://github.com/eneroth/git-externals This script would check out all svn:externals previously defined in

I would like to import a SVN repository into a GitHub Enterprise repository There are many questions related to this matter and most of them can be addressed either with Git submodules or Git subtree. In my case I have two repositories: The main project repository The modules repository (a big SVN repository over 2 GB) This module repository has the following architecture: foolib/ moduleA/ ... moduleB/ ... ... For the project, only few modules from foolib are used as svn:externals . For example this main project only uses moduleA from foolib . As mentioned in this question one possible

So I have this file Mobile.framework and if I do a svn propedit i get svn propedit svn:externals It brings up Mobile.embeddedframework svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework This is pointed to the head. I want to edit this and set it to -r1209. Whats the correct way to set it to a revision? Have a look at the SVN manual : Mobile.framework svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@100 - note the @100 . (or) svn propedit svn:externals . can help you edit it. svn propset svn:externals \ Mobile.framework svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@1024 1024 is arbitrary :) replace it with the revision number

Is there a way to exclude all svn externals when doing a recursive update? Is there a way to exclude only 1 of all of the svn externals when doing a recursive update? Basically I'd like to cut down the svn update time, and a couple of the SVN externals that I have will just about never get updated. Yes, there is an option for this (to ignore all): > svn update --ignore-externals I don't know of any option to specifically ignore one or some externals while updating the rest. If you are using TortoiseSVN, you can do the same thing as "svn update --ignore-externals". Use the " Update to revision.

Basically I have to repo on the same server: svn://repo/foo -> checked out to d:\foo svn://repo/bar -> d:\foo has an svn:external property set to check this out into d:\foo\bar When an "svn:update" or a new "svn:checkout" this is gist of the error: Command - Update Updated - D:\foo External - D:\foo\bar External failed - D:\foo\bar Error - d:\foo\bar is already locked via d:\foo After I "clean" or manually release the lock, the problem still persists. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Update: Attila nailed it in the comment. I had "foo/bar" existing in the repository. For

I want to use git to clone a svn repository, but unfortunately, where svn checkout gets the repo with all externals, git svn clone only gets the repository without externals. How can I get the externals from the svn repository via git svn ? I don't want to do any fancy stuff, just get the the complet repo with externals. git-svn doesn't support externals, but you may try SmartGit instead of git-svn. It supports svn:externals, converting them into .gitsvnextmodules file and displaying as modules. The only restriction: you should clone the repository with SmartGit instead of opening already
