Re: [Texmacs-dev] Compiling SVN on Linux

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

Miguel,
 I already use git-svn to maintain the mirror. You just have to clone from 
there if you want to experiment with git.

https://gitorious.org/texmacs

if you want to push directly from svn (instead that from the mirror), for 
example when I'm not there to update the mirror as often as you would like, you 
can follow this recipe

# init working copy t
mkdir t  
cd t  
git init  
git fetch -f address@hidden:texmacs/texmacs.git 
'+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'  
git checkout -b master trunk  
# init git-svn  
git svn init -s svn+ssh://address@hidden/texmacs  
# fetch from svn  
git svn rebase  


In particular the last two command put in sync your local repo directly with 
the savannah svn repo.

PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE: for the moment refrain from pushing directly from git to 
svn (it is possible) but since it is not necessary let's do not experiment with 
bugs in git-svn....
