Git Merge Ruin Svn Information
 Git Merge Ruin Svn Information 
 I’ve successfully used git svn to fetch a project from a very old svn server.
 The output of git svn info shows:
- masterpoints to- https://svn-server/repos/myProject.
- feature-newpoints to- https://svn-server/repos/branches/myProject.
However, merging feature-new into master changes the mapping, causing
 master to point to https://svn-server/repos/myProject/myProject/myBranch.
How can I fix this?
SVN repository:
- trunk: https://svn-server/repos/myProject
- branch: https://svn-server/repos/branches/myProject
Procedures for fetching:
1. Clone from svn
1
git svn init https://svn-server/repos --trunk=myProject --branches=branches/{myProject} myProject
2. Setting the authorsfile
1
git config svn.authorsfile ~/authors.txt
- Edit content of .git/config:
