git-svn-ext

Put git-svn-ext in your path and run it from the top-level tree checked out with git-svn. git-svn-ext will detect and git-svn clone the externals using the following method:

1. git svn clone each external into a .git_externals/ directory.
2. symlink the cloned repository in .git_externals/ to the proper directory name.
3. add the symlink and .git_externals/ to the .git/info/excludes/ file, so that you're not pestered about it when performing a git status.

Usage

Usage: ./git-svn-ext <sub command> [sub command args]

Sub commmands:

• clone clone all svn externals into .git_externals
• update updates all svn externals (git svn fetch[ --revision]/rebase --local)
• check check if local git-svn checkout has unpushed commits and uncommitted changes
• execute run a command against all externals (ie: git svn-ext execute 'git grep "whatever"')

Note: externals may be ignored if listed in .git_external_excludes
