Subject: git-svn usability
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 18:34:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fyaqvgoz.fsf@morpheus.local> (raw)
I wanted to try out "git svn" and did a "git help svn" and got the man
page for git-svn. That page starts out by describing that git-svn
only is useful for working with a single svn branch. But then,
further down, it describes the commands "multi-init" and
"multi-fetch" anyway. Confusing. But I decided to give them a try.
But there isn't really any clear description on what the command line
should look like when you use multi-init (or any other git-svn command
for that matter). So I boldly decided to try to run "git svn help
multi-init". You never know, it might tell you something. This is
what happened:
morpheus% git svn help multi-init
GIT_SVN_ID set to 'trunk' for help/trunk
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/david/tmp/.git/
W: --branches/-b not specified
W: --tags/-t not specified
Not exactly what I wanted. The command-line parser in git-svn is
broken since it picks the first argument that looks like a command
name.
