(Normally you’d do this with git … Read more

So what you want to do is a rebase instead of a merge as it preserves linear history with SVN (this is indicated in on the git-svn man page here. To elaborate, linear histories are trivial. They go in a straight line (A … Read more

But if you must ignore tracked files (which is not the native Git way when it comes to ignoring files: Git only ignores non-tracked files), you can setup a process copying the content of files you want to ignore, and restoring on … Read more
As illustrated in the doc ssh troubleshooting, this is probably caused by an incorrect path during cloning. The documentation (some parts below were only valid for Gitolite V2) mentions: The second error (ie. “you are able to clone repositories but are unable to push changes back (the error complains about the GL_RC environment variable not … Read more
This handles my situation pretty well: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSvnSwitch I cloned using the file:// protocol, and wanted to switch to the http:// protocol. It is tempting to edit the url setting in the [svn-remote “svn”] section of .git/config, but on its own this does not work.
