--follow-parent:
This is especially helpful when we're tracking a directory
that has been moved around within the repository, or if we
started tracking a branch and never tracked the trunk it was
descended from.
This relies on the SVN::* libraries to work. We can't
reliably parse path info from the svn command-line client
without relying on XML, so it's better just to have the SVN::*
libs installed.
This also removes oldvalue verification when calling update-ref
In SVN, branches can be deleted, and then recreated under the
same path as the original one with different ancestry
information, causing parent information to be mismatched /
misordered.
Also force the current ref, if existing, to be a parent,
regardless of whether or not it was specified.
--no-metadata:
This gets rid of the git-svn-id: lines at the end of every commit.
With this, you lose the ability to use the rebuild command. If
you ever lose your .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db file, you won't be
able to fetch again, either. This is fine for one-shot imports.
Also fix some issues with multi-fetch --follow-parent that were
exposed while testing this. Additionally, repack checking is
simplified greatly.
git-svn log will not work on repositories using this, either.
