The command
git svn clone (URL of an empty SVN repo here)
works, creates an empty git repository. I can perform the initial
commit there, but then, "git svn dcommit" says :
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at .../git-svn line 414.
Committing to ...
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history
I guess a correct management of the initial commit in git-svn would be
hard to implement, but at least, the error message can be improved.
First step is something like the patch below, and better would be for
"git svn clone" to warn that it won't be able to do much with the
cloned repo.

In get_sha1_basic, we parse a string like
HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path/to/file
into its constituent ref, reflog date, and path components.
We never actually munge the string itself, but instead keep
offsets into the string with their associated lengths.
When we call approxidate on the contents inside braces,
however, we pass just a string without a length. This means
that approxidate could sometimes look past the closing brace
and (erroneously) interpret the rest of the string as part
of the date.

Michael G. Noll said in comments to the "Switching my code repository from
Subversion (SVN) to git" article (http://tinyurl.com/37v67l) in his "My
digital moleskine" blog, that one of the things he is missing in gitweb
from SVN::Web is an RSS feed with news/information of the current view
(including RSS feed for single file or directory).
This is not exactly true, as since refactoring feed generation in af6feeb
(gitweb: Refactor feed generation, make output prettier, add Atom feed,
2006-11-19), gitweb can generate feeds (RSS or Atom) for history of a
given branch, history limited to a given directory, or history of a given
file. Nevertheless this required handcrafting the URL to get wanted RSS
feed.
This commit makes gitweb select feed links in the HTML header and in
page footer depending on current view (action). It is more elaborate,
and I guess more correct, than simple patch adding $hash ('h')
parameter to *all* URLs, including feed links, by Jean-Baptiste Quenot
Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Add hash parameter in feed URL when a hash
is specified in the current request
Message-ID: <ae63f8b50803211138y6355fd11pa64cda50a1f53011@mail.gmail.com>
If $hash ('h') or $hash_base ('hb') parameter is a branch name
(i.e. it starts with 'refs/heads/'; all generated URLs use this form
to discriminate between tags and heads), it is used in feed URLs; if
$file_name ('f') is defined, it is used in feed URLs. Feed title is
set according to the kind of web feed: it is either 'log' for generic
feed, 'log of <branch>', 'history of <filename>' for generic history
(using implicit or explicit HEAD, i.e. current branch) or 'history of
<filename> on <branch>'.
There are special cases: 'heads' and 'forks' views should use OPML
providing list of available feeds; 'tags' probably also should use
OPML; there is no web feed equivalent to 'search' view. Currently all
those cases fallback to (show) default feed. Such feed link uses
"generic" class, and is shown in slightly lighter color for
distinction.
Currently feed can have but one starting point, and does not support
negative (exclude) commit arguments. Therefore for now for *diff
views it is chosen that feed follow the "to" part: to-name, to-commit
for 'blobdiff', 'treediff' and 'commitdiff' views.
Generating parameters for href() for feed link was separated
(refactored) into get_feed_info() subroutine.

"git add *" is actually fundamentally different from "git add .", and
yeah, you should generally use the latter.
The reason? The argument list is actually something different from what
you think it is. For git, it's a "pathspec", so what actualy happens is
that in *both* cases, it will really traverse the whole tree, and then
match every file it finds against the pathspec.
So think of the arguments not as a file list, but as a random bunch of
patterns to match against the files you have!
Which is why the cost is actually approximately O(n*m), where "n" is the
size of the working tree, and "m" is the number of pathspecs.
So the reason "git add ." is fast is actually that "m" in that case is
just 1 (just one trivial pattern), and then "git add *" is slow because
"m" is large (lots of complicated patterns). In both cases, 'n' is the
same (== the whole set of files in your working tree).
Anyway, here's a trivial patch that doesn't change this fundamental fact,
but that avoids doing anything *expensive* until we've done some cheap
initial tests. It may or may not help your test-case, but it's pretty
simple and it matches the other git optimizations in this area (ie
"conceptually handle the general case, but optimize the simple cases where
we can exit early")
Notice how this patch doesn' actually change the fundamental O(n^2)
behaviour, but it makes it much cheaper by generally avoiding the
expensive 'fnmatch' and 'strlen/strncmp' when they are obviously not
needed.

This makes a struct ref able to represent a symref, and makes http.c

This simplifies a few things, makes a few things slightly more
complicated, but, more importantly, allows that, when struct ref can
represent a symref, http_fetch_ref() can return one.
Incidentally makes the string that http_fetch_ref() gets include "refs/"
(if appropriate), because that's how the name field of struct ref works.
As far as I can tell, the usage in walker:interpret_target() wouldn't have
worked previously, if it ever would have been used, which it wouldn't
(since the fetch process uses the hash instead of the name of the ref
there).

Currently "git help -m GITCMD" is restricted to a set of man viewers
defined at compile time. You can subvert the "man.<tool>.path" to
force "git help -m" to use a different man, viewer, but if you have a
man viewer whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current
tools then you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds a git config variable "man.<tool>.cmd" which allows a
more flexible man viewer choice.
If you run "git help -m GITCMD" with the "man.viewer" config variable
set to an unrecognized tool then it will query the "man.<tool>.cmd"
config variable. If this variable exists, then the specified tool will
be treated as a custom man viewer and it will be run in a shell with
the man page name of the GITCMD added as extra parameter.

In this patch we also try to launch "konqueror" using

in "man.konqueror.path".

Previously, a push like:
git push remote src:dst
would go through the following steps:
1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
exists, then push to that ref
2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
does, create a new ref
3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
refs hierarchy to put 'dst'
However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:
2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'
So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:
git push master:newbranch
Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.
