Yes, this is possible, but in my experience branch sharing quickly falls apart in practice. If I make some change to foo.c, push it to your branch and then later on do a rebase to update from svn I just rewrote history. The commit hash you have for foo.c is now different than mine. Now sure you can also rebase, but what if you are away? I am stuck until you return. Or what if you have a commit to foo.c that is made after my commit, but updating from svn creates a conflict you need to resolve? You then again rewrite history and now I have to sync back up. And good luck if one of us cherry-picks. I think git svn does a great job for individuals working solo on a project, but for me it starts to become too tedious when groups of people are passing around branches. Or maybe I am just doing it all wrong? -- Herman Radtke hermanradtke@gmail.com | http://hermanradtke.com
