Suppose someone fetches git-svn-ified commits from another repo and then attempts to use 'git-svn init --rewrite-root=foo bar'. Using git svn rebase after that will fail badly: * For each commit tried by working_head_info, rebuild is called indirectly. * rebuild will iterate over all commits and skip all of them because the URL does not match. Because of that no rev_map file is generated at all. * Thus, rebuild will run once for every commit. This takes ages. * In the end there still isn't any rev_map file and thus working_head_info fails. Addressing this behaviour fixes an apparently not too uncommon problem with providing git-svn mirrors of Subversion repositories. Some repositories are accessed using different URLs depending on whether the user has push privileges or not. In the latter case, an anonymous URL is often used that differs from the push URL. Providing a mirror that is usable in both cases becomes a lot more possible with this change.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
