Hi Steffen, Option 2 worked for me recently with a repo that had previous git history. I think you after you run
git branch --track biocmaster bioc/master You need to run git checkout biocmaster Then you may run git svn dcommit, which should just be a null op at this point. I will add that if your repo has previous git history (like yours) you absolutely must cherry pick onto the svn repo or great suffering will ensue. This is because, I believe, the histories of the svn repo and git repo are different. Rebasing or merging tries to replay from the first commit of your git repo -Andrew On Jan 3, 2017, at 6:00 AM, bioc-devel-requ...@r-project.org<mailto:bioc-devel-requ...@r-project.org> wrote: Hi all,?and a happy new year! I am experiencing a lot of frustration getting changes from github pushed to BioC svn, and that includes some fixes for build issues in packages depending on xcms. I have tried several options: 1) git svn checkout, git remote add, git merge and git svn dcommit. 2) git clone github repo, update_remotes.sh?and git svn rebase both of which seem to fail due to the same reason, which seems to be somewhere around [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
