Revision history [back]

The process for altering SVN branches with git-svn involves the following steps:

1. Clone the SVN repository using git-svn:

git svn clone <svn-repo-url>

1. Fetch the latest changes from SVN:

git svn fetch

1. Create a new local branch to track the SVN branch:

git branch <local-branch-name> <svn-branch-name>

1. Switch to the new local branch:

git checkout <local-branch-name>

1. Make changes to the local branch, commit them, and push them to SVN:

git commit -m "<commit-message>"
git svn dcommit

1. Fetch the latest changes from SVN again:

git svn fetch

1. Rebase the local branch with the changes from SVN:

git rebase svn/trunk

1. Resolve any merge conflicts that may arise during the rebase. Once conflicts are resolved, continue with the rebase:

git rebase --continue

1. Finally, push the changes to SVN:

git svn dcommit

These steps can be repeated for multiple SVN branches as needed.
