How do I
track upstream SVN
changes using git-svn and github?
I used git-svn to convert an SVN repo to git on github:
$ git svn clone -s http://svn.osqa.net/svnroot/osqa/ osqa
$ cd osqa
$ git remote add origin
[email protected]:turian/osqa.git
$ git push origin master
I then made a few
changes in my git repo, committed, and pushed to github.
Now, I am on a new machine. I want to take upstream SVN
changes, merge them with my github repo, and push them to my github repo. This documentation says: "If you ever lose your local copy, just run the import again with the same settings, and you’ll get another working directory with all the necessary SVN metainfo."
So I did the following. But none of the commands work as desired. How do I
track upstream SVN
changes using git-svn and github? What am I doing wrong?
$ git svn clone -s http://svn.osqa.net/svnroot/osqa/ osqa
$ cd osqa
$ git remote add origin
[email protected]:turian/osqa.git
$ git push origin master

[email protected]:turian/osqa.git

You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me either. Please
name which branch you want to merge on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.
