I need git-svn to act as a Subversion v1.5+ client
- by Ben Ward
I'm running git 1.7 on Mac OSX, installed via Homebrew. I'm trying to use git svn to work with a Subversion server that requires Subversion 1.5 clients (a restriction enforced via a pre-commit hook.)
Running git svn --version reveals that as far as git is concerned, git svn is equivalent to svn v1.4.4.
I can't establish whether git svn is a total clone of subversion, and thus needs to be updated to meet subversion v1.5 functionality, or if git is compiled against or just points to some version of subversion under the hood.
I've struggled finding anyone else trying to upgrade the version of git-svn, and I'm guessing this client version restriction is unusual, but I'm stuck with it (corporate environment.)
Is it possible to have git operate as svn 1.5?
