Some Git utility scripts. The most useful one is "githelper", which is documented on the project website.

Run-time syntax error in Ruby clone-externals script

In git-svn-clone-externals.rb, function process_externals(): need to call update_exclude_file_with_paths() with an array, not a string. Change is on line 129:
- update_exclude_file_with_paths(dir)

• update_exclude_file_with_paths([dir])

Without this change, update_exclude_file_with_paths() fails when it tries to call the "each" Array method (since "dir" is a String, not an Array).

Add support for fetching externals for existing git svn clones

I already have some large git repositories created with git svn clone which miss some externals. It would be nice to have a command to populate the externals for these repositories after the fact, i.e. into the existing git repository.

Add support for single files

Currently preflight_externals will break on chdir if it is given a path to a file and not to a directory, but it is possible to add the svn extern property to single file

add support for stdlayout to git-tools

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html
git svn can track a standard Subversion repository, following the common "trunk/branches/tags" layout, with the --stdlayout option.
git svn clone --stdlayout url

add support for svn:externals fixed on a specific revision

I'm stuck on "Error: Found external(s) pegged to fixed revision" when having a svn:external fixed on a specific revision. It would be great to support that case (which is a pretty common case), or at least to ignore this svn:external and throw a warning when git-svn-clone-externals.rb has finished his job.

gh clone-externals does not get all the git history

I run "gh clone-externals ",
but git log does not show anything.
that is, gh clone-externals does not load all the git history,
such as using git --depth=1.

why is that?
how to ask gh to get all the git history?

Error when updating

Hi

When trying to update the externals I get the following error:

Error: The svn:externals URL for '/home/fgu/tmp/svn-git/lib/vendor/symfony' is defined as

http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4/

but the existing Git working copy in that directory is configured as

http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4

I used the perl script. I guess the script should ignore whether there is a trailing / or not, right?

Handle pure git sandboxes within git-svn sandboxes in -q mode

Currently it does the switch-to-master and back thing and probably tries to run git svn rebase. It should check if a git sandbox is really a git-svn sandbox and skip it if not.
