copied!<p>I know this question has been answered a while ago, but after reading it, I it might help adding examples of the specific git svn branch command and relate it to a typical workflow.</p> <p>Like kch answered, use <code>git svn branch</code>. Here is a full example, (note the <code>-n</code> for dry-run to test):</p> <pre><code>git svn branch -n -m "Branch for authentication bug" auth_bug </code></pre> <p>If this goes well, server replies with answer like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>Copying <a href="https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/trunk" rel="noreferrer">https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/trunk</a> at r8914 to <a href="https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/branches/auth_bug" rel="noreferrer">https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/branches/auth_bug</a>...</p> </blockquote> <p>And without the <code>-n</code> switch the server probably adds something like:</p> <blockquote> <p>Found possible branch point: <a href="https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/trunk" rel="noreferrer">https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/trunk</a> => <a href="https://scm-server.com/portal/branches/auth_bug" rel="noreferrer">https://scm-server.com/portal/branches/auth_bug</a>, 8914</p> <p>Found branch parent: (refs/remotes/auth_bug)</p> <p>d731b1fa028d30d685fe260f5bb912cbf59e1971</p> <p>Following parent with do_switch</p> <p>Successfully followed parent r8915 = 6ed10c57afcec62e9077fbeed74a326eaa4863b8</p> <p>(refs/remotes/auth_bug)</p> </blockquote> <p>The best part of it, now you can create a local branch based on your remote branch like so:</p> <pre><code>git checkout -b local/auth_bug auth_bug </code></pre> <p>Which means "check out and create local branch named <code>auth_bug</code> and make it follow the remote branch (last parameter) <code>auth_bug</code></p> <p>Test that your local branch works on that remote branch by using <code>dcommit</code> with <code>--dry-run</code> (<code>-n</code>):</p> <pre><code>git svn dcommit -n </code></pre> <p>And SVN server should reply with the new branch name:</p> <blockquote> <p>Committing to <a href="https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/branches/auth_bug" rel="noreferrer">https://scm-server.com/svn/portal/branches/auth_bug</a> ...</p> </blockquote>
