Add a new subversion remote into existing Git repository

Question

I have a git repository fully tracking a remote SVN repo. Now I need to add a new branch that will be tracking a directory in a completely different SVN repo.

Is that possible?

Answer 1

It is. git svn init only edits the default svn remote, you'll have to edit the config file.

Look in .git/config , copy and alter the existing svn-remote section, and run git svn fetch . For example:

[svn-remote "svn2"]
        url = http://bzzz.googlecode.com/svn
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svn2/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/svn2/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/svn2/tags/*
