update: added missing merge step in the SVN operations.
Hello,
I have an issue where svn merged of specific revisions to branches, are interpreted by the conversion as full merges.
The equivalent of an svn merge of specific revisions is a cherry pick in git.
Is there a way of overriding this behaviour?
Take the following example
SVN operations
Set up the repo
Revision: 1
Message:
adding standard structure
----
Added : /branches
Added : /tags
Added : /trunk
add file_1.txt to trunk
Revision: 2
Message:
adding file 1
----
Added : /trunk/file_1.txt
add file_2.txt to trunk
Revision: 3
Message:
adding file 2
----
Added : /trunk/file_2.txt
Branch v_1 from trunk on revision 2
Revision: 5
Message:
creating version 1 from revision 2
contains file 1
----
Added : /branches/v_1 (Copy from path: /trunk, Revision, 2)
Merge revision 3 that added file_2.txt to v_1)
r6
Changed paths:
M /branches/v_1
A /branches/v_1/file_2.txt (from /trunk/file_2.txt:3)
merging file_2.txt from trunk
Convert svn to git
rules
create repository test
end repository
match /trunk/
repository test
branch trunk
end match
match /branches/([^/]+)/
repository test
branch \1
end match
match /
end match
convert
docker run --rm -it -v pwd/workdir:/workdir -v /u02/svnroot/test:/tmp/svn -v pwd/conf:/tmp/conf svn2git /usr/local/svn2git/svn-all-fast-export --identity-map /tmp/conf/authors-transform.txt --rules /tmp/conf/rules --add-metadata --svn-branches --debug-rules --svn-ignore --empty-dirs /tmp/svn/
check the results
clone and check out v_1
git clone --branch v_1 ./workdir/test/ ./workdir/test_gitwc
cd workdir/test_wc
** look at the history of the v_1 branch **

adding file 1

expected
svn revision 3 adding file_2 to the trunk should not be visible in branch v_1 in git
this is a revision from the trunk and we didn't merged this revision in svn.
actual
svn revision 3 adding file_2 to the trunk is visible in branch v_1 in git
does svn-all-fast-export interpret all merges as full instead of performing a cherry-pick?
