For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect to the root of the repository or at least the level that houses branches and tags as well as trunk. However, users that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have no use for this feature. As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository. While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed. For people used to the git-svnimport switches of --trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL isn't of too much use to them, either. For people *not* used to git-svnimport, git-svn also supports: git svn init --minimize-url \ --trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \ --branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \ --tags http://repository-root/foo/tags And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
