How to set Subversion properties with git-svn
Note: git 2.3.0 (February 2015) supports proset with git svn.
See commit 83c9433 by Alfred Perlstein (splbio):
git-svn: support forgit-svn propsetThis change allows
git-svnto support setting subversion properties.It is useful for manually setting properties when committing to a subversion repo that requires properties to be set without requiring moving your changeset to separate subversion checkout in order to set props.
There is a nit to point out: the code does not support adding props unless there are also content changes to the files as well.
This is demonstrated in the testcase.
So, as seen in t/t9148-git-svn-propset.sh, this now works:
git svn propset "$1" "$2" "$file" # likegit svn propset "svn:keywords" "FreeBSD=%H" "foo"
git-svn does not support Subversion properties. When I run into this problem, I usually end up having two checkouts.
This is mentioned in the git-svn documentation under BUGS:
We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Any unhandled properties are logged to
$GIT_DIR/svn/<refname>/unhandled.log
