Relocate

  1. Using svn checkout HEAD from the https:// repository. Cache your authentication credentials so git-svn can use them if necessary. This is important.
  2. If there haven't been any commits since your last git-svn rebase make one now e.g. touch kick; svn add kick; svn commit -m "Kicking git-svn". This is important.
  3. Now, in your git-svn checkout edit .git/config. In the svn section, comment out the old url entry (hash or semicolon are valid) and add a new one.
  4. git-svn fetch to fetch a new revision from the new repository
  5. In .git/config comment out the new url entry and restore the old one.
  6. git-svn rebase -l to perform a local rebase
  7. In .git/config comment out the old url entry and restore the new one.
  8. Enjoy the fresh minty taste.
