Subject: mismatch between man and actual git-svn on --prefix

Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:29:31 +0200

Package: git-svn
Version: 1:1.5.2.1-1
Severity: normal

the manual of git-svn tell me that :
           --prefix=<prefix>
               This allows one to specify a prefix which is prepended to the
               names of remotes if trunk/branches/tags are specified. The
               prefix does not automatically include a trailing slash, so be
               sure you include one in the argument if that is what you want.
               This is useful if you wish to track multiple projects that
               share a common repository.

but, if one to not put the said trailing slash, one have the following
error: 

$ git svn init -Ttrunk/mutagen -treleases -bbranches http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/ --prefix mutagen
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
--prefix='mutagen' must have a trailing slash '/'

(and, yes, I do want that there is no trailing slash...)

Hi, i can confirm this.  But I'm not sure what config actually should be
created when setting a prefix.

Without prefix you get (remotes/)
 trunk
 branch0
 branch1
 tags/tag0
 tags/tag1

What do you expect with prefix=mutagen (without trailing slash)?  E.g.
 mutagentrunk
 mutagenbranches/branch0
 mtuagenbranches/branch1
 mutagentags/tag0
or
 mutagentrunk
 mutagen/branch0
 mutagen/branch1
 mutagentags/tag0

Regards, Gerrit.

to say the true, I had misread the git-svn manual. So what I rely
wanted as nothing to do with the --prefix option, and I believe that
the best option here is to correct the manual by asserting there that
the trailing / is mandatory.
