We have post-processing scripts that alter the list of parents of some commits. The input file uses SVN revision numbers, and the script searches for the corresponding Git commit. When the conversion rules put different changes of the same commit into different branches, a single SVN commit is converted into multiple Git commits, which means multiple Git commits have the same SVN revision number in the metadata. In that situation, the post-processing scripts rely on the 'svn path=' line to disambiguate between them. That breaks if the path is different on every run... -- Nicolás _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list Kde-scm-interest@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
