I don't want to commit to svn often (tens of commits), and could do this with svn itself later, without git-svn at all. It is why I don't want to work with FreeBSD svn repo directly -- I will need many commits which are "bad", partial, without meaningful message, etc. :) > You tried to implement the workflow in the opposite direction - each of t= he > developers may decide what he wants to push in the svn-facing repository.= This > doesn't look like a correct workflow to me. I'm the only developer (yet), but with two workstations and each workstation could not see other one (and they both could not be seen from server with "central" repo -- NAT and corporate firewalls with application-level proxies) -- so they could "push" and "pull" to central repository, but not from each other and central repository could not initiate "pull" from them. > If you really want to have some central repository for pushing, then you = can > create another repository.

Ok, I've redirected it. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
