    text
    copied!<p><strong>Current setup</strong><br> I am running a local <em>git</em> repository in parallel to a <em>svn</em> checkout in the same folder. Whenever something new happens on the <em>svn</em> server I run <code>svn update</code> to download the commits. Then I <code>git add &amp;&amp; git commit</code> the whole set of changes to the <em>git</em> repository.</p> <p><strong>Task</strong><br> I want to checkout each commit separately to being able to <code>git add &amp;&amp; git commit</code> the change with the corresponding commit message from <em>svn</em>.</p> <p><strong>Ideas</strong><br> I already found out that I can use <code>svnversion</code> to retrieve the revision numbers of the working copy and the server.</p> <pre><code>// svnversion -h usage: svnversion [OPTIONS] [WC_PATH [TRAIL_URL]] Produce a compact 'version number' for the working copy path WC_PATH. TRAIL_URL is the trailing portion of the URL used to determine if WC_PATH itself is switched (detection of switches within WC_PATH does not rely on TRAIL_URL). The version number is written to standard output. For example: $ svnversion . /repos/svn/trunk 4168 The version number will be a single number if the working copy is single revision, unmodified, not switched and with an URL that matches the TRAIL_URL argument. If the working copy is unusual the version number will be more complex: 4123:4168 mixed revision working copy 4168M modified working copy 4123S switched working copy 4123P partial working copy, from a sparse checkout 4123:4168MS mixed revision, modified, switched working copy ... </code></pre> <p><strong>Note</strong><br> I would be happy to discuss ideas with you to solve the task.<br> A later setup would also include <em>svn externals</em> which is why I cannot checkout the <em>svn</em> repository via <em>git-svn</em>.</p>
