Question

I have a git repository which tracks an svn repository. I cloned it using --stdlayout.

I created a new local branch via git checkout -b foobar

Now I want this branch to end up in …/branches/foobar in the svn repository.

How do I go about that?

(snipped lots of investigative text. see question history if you care)

Answer 1

as of git v1.6.1, git svn branch is available.

From the git docs:

     branch         Create a branch in the SVN repository.          -m, --message             Allows to specify the commit message.          -t, --tag             Create a tag by using the tags_subdir instead of the branches_subdir             specified during git svn init. 

Previous versions of git do not provide a way to create an svn branch.
