How do I make git-svn use a particular svn branch as the remote repository?
branch, git, git-svn, repository, svn
Solution
Muchas gracias to Bart's Blog for this handy reference for svn branches in git. Apparently all I needed was to specify a remote branch when creating the `git` branch, e.g.,
git checkout -b git-topic-branch-foo foo
where `foo` is the name of the remote branch.
Problem
A word of warning: I'm a n00b to `git` in general. My team uses feature branches in `svn`, and I'd like to use `git-svn` to track my work on a particular feature branch. I've been (roughly) following Andy Delcambre's post to set up my local `git` repo, but those instructions seem to have led `git` to pick the `svn` branch that had changed most recently as the remote repository; the problem is that's not the branch I care about. How do I control which branch `git-svn` uses? Or am I approaching this completely wrong? UPDATE: I did use the `-T`, `-b`, and `-t` options (in my case because the `svn` repo has multiple projects, but I want the `git` repo to contain only the project I'm working on).
