I am currently working on a checked out SVN project along with some plugins for that project. I want to keep all of this work – including the current version of my SVN checkout within a single git repository.
I thought I had achieved this by checking in the SVN working copy to git. However, when I did a pull on a new computer the SVN working copy had been corrupted. In particular it seemed that git had not checked it any of the .svn/tmp/ and .svn/props/ folders.
I have now made a fresh checkout of the SVN project. Is there a way for me to add the ignored folders to my git repo (git status ignores them even though my .gitignore is empty) or force SVN to regenerate them?
File extensions that start with a period are considered hidden files by convention. So, I’m not Git expert, but I’m guessing Git ignores such files by default.
May I ask what you hope to achieve by keeping svn meta data in Git?
