gish - git-svn helper

Utility for management of git-svn repositories that contain externals.

• clone: recursive clone of externals into an existing git-svn repository
• list: list the root path of the current git repo and the paths to its externals
• clean: recursive git clean, won't remove external repos
• Execute git with command arguments within repo and its externals.

Usage

All usage is documented in the tool. gish -h for command list, gish <command> -h for command help

Clone

Clone the svn repo. gish clone svn://svnserver/repo/path [destDir]

Use a preexisting config file to create a new repo. This avoids fetching the externals from the svn server. The config file can be found in .git/info/gish.conf gish clone -c=gish.conf destdir

Clean

Remove all untracked files. -n lists files that would be removed, -f enables removal. One flag must be provided.

Recursive git

Normal git commands are performed on the root repo and all externals, recursively. For example, gish status -uno will show the status for all the repos, hiding the untracked files.

Installation

Gish is written in go. The Go compiler is simple to install. Once Go is installed, gish can be downloaded and installed using the go tool.

`go get github.com/mikezuff/gish/`
`go install github.com/mikezuff/gish/`

If you have problems with these commands, ensure that $GOPATH and $GOROOT are set properly and that $GOPATH/bin and $GOROOT/bin are in your $PATH. See the Go installation instructions for more info.

Known Issues

Only the "^" svn relative external format is supported.
