Git SVN Configuration Options

debug/*:refs/remotes/svn/debug/* CONFIGURATION ------------- 'git svn' stores [svn-remote] configuration information in the repository $GIT_DIR/config file. It is similar the core Git [remote] sections except 'fetch' keys do not accept glob arguments; but they are instead handled by the 'branches' and 'tags' keys. Since some SVN repositories are oddly configured with multiple projects glob expansions such those listed below are allowed: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [svn-remote "project-a"] url = http://server.org/svn fetch = trunk/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/trunk branches = branches/*/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/* branches = branches/release_*:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/release_* branches = branches/re*se:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/* tags = tags/*/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/tags/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep in mind that the `*` (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref (right of the `:`) *must* be the farthest right path component; however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long as it's an independent path component (surrounded by `/` or EOL). This type of configuration is not automatically created by 'init' and should be manually entered with a text-editor or using 'git config'. Also note that only one asterisk is allowed per word. For example: branches = branches/re*se:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/* will match branches 'release', 'rese', 're123se', however branches = branches/re*s*e:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/* will produce an error. It is also possible to fetch a subset of branches or tags by using a comma-separated list of names within braces. For example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [svn-remote "huge-project"] url = http://server.org/svn fetch = trunk/src:refs/remotes/trunk branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/* tags = tags/{1.0,2.0}/src:refs/remotes/project-a/tags/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multiple fetch, branches, and tags keys are supported: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [svn-remote "messy-repo"] url = http://server.org/svn fetch = trunk/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/trunk fetch

This section describes the configuration options for git-svn, including the use of wildcards and glob patterns to specify branches and tags, as well as the syntax for specifying multiple branches and tags using comma-separated lists and braces, and how to manually edit the $GIT_DIR/config file to set up custom configurations.
