git svn usage notes

I've been using git-svn recently, and like it quite a bit. The killer feature for me is that I can make commits while off-line; I like being able to commit changes in small chunks. Here are some notes on how I most frequently use it.

1. Start. Make local copy of trunk, branches, tags and revision history.
   

           $ cd ~/src/git
           $ git svn clone svn://myprj
           $ cd myproj/trunk
   

2. Push your local changes to SVN repository.
   

           $ git svn dcommit
   

3. Revert your local changes to last version you committed.

           $ pwd
           /home/mark/src/git/ao/trunk/wwwrpt
           $ git show HEAD:trunk/wwwrpt/Makefile
           $ git show HEAD:trunk/wwwrpt/Makefile > Makefile
   

4. Revert to the version before your last commit.

           $ git show \
           > HEAD~1:branches/2.2_WORKFLOW/engine/session.h \
           >> engine/session.h
   

5. Fix commit message on last commit. (Must do before dcommit.)

           $ git commit --ammend
