For some definition of fix. ;) Sure it fixes your local setup now, but would we want to use that as well here? My gut reaction: * not all platforms know symlinks * IIRC there is some worktree magic that tells you the "main" dir, so if that was used in git-svn instead it should "just work". > > I think all that needs to happen is that when adding a new worktree, if > the main git directory has a "svn" directory, add a symlink to it in the > worktree's gitdir. > > -- > Mathieu Arnold > >
