Question

I am using SubGit to synchronize Git and SVN repos. When cloning a remote Git repo I want to preserve all the history of that repo. The steps I currently follow allow me to copy the history of the master branch only:

svnadmin create svn_repos
subgit-1.0.0-EAP_1381/bin/subgit configure svn_repos
subgit-1.0.0-EAP_1381/bin/subgit install svn_repos
git clone svn_repos gitRepo

cd gitRepo/
git remote add -f newRemote git://127.0.0.1/gitRepo
...
From git://127.0.0.1/gitRepo
 * [new branch]      FirstProductionTag -> newRemote/FirstProductionTag
 * [new branch]      SecondProductionTag -> newRemote/SecondProductionTag
 * [new branch]      ThirdProductionTag -> newRemote/ThirdProductionTag
 * [new branch]      bugfix     -> newRemote/bugfix
 * [new branch]      bugfix2    -> newRemote/bugfix2
 * [new branch]      master     -> newRemote/master

git merge -s ours --no-commit newRemote/master
git read-tree --prefix=foo/bar/ -u newRemote/master 
git commit -m "Merged new Remote into subdirectory /foo/bar"
git push origin master

How can I merge the changes from bugfix and bugfix2 branches at the same time? Thanks!

If your goal is to get Subversion repository from remote Git repository and keep both repositories synchronized, consider do the following:

$ svnadmin create svn_repos
$ git clone --mirror git://127.0.0.1/gitRepo svn_repos/.git
$ subgit-1.0.0-EAP_1381/bin/subgit install svn_repos
