At least not without a workaround ;-)
What about this: rename the .svn directories to .upstreamsvn and add .svn -> .upstreamsvn symlinks, but do not add the .svn symlinks to git (can git automatically ignore the symlinks named .svn in all subdirectories?) [...] Fortunately, this is not needed anymore. After Thomas explained to me how easy it was to drop the .git directory into a new installation and commit those changes, we have decided to simply use git on the openSUSE servers.
Does this mean we can use SVN checkouts and include the .svn directories in git? Great news :-)
I will be updating the wiki on stage using my normal workflow,
It would be even better if you use "svn checkout" instead of "svn export" because we would then have the .svn directories.
but in the end who does the mediawiki updates decides what is the best workflow to do it. At the moment this is Matthew ;-)
I know, and I'm not too keen to take over his job ;-) (It might also be somehow problematic - even with public read access to the staging servers (thanks!) getting write/shell access for non-SUSE people might be harder.)
That is true, due to system access policies. That's the tradeoff for hosting it in the data center :)
I even like this "problem" - I don't want to be fully responsable for deploying a broken wiki ;-)) (and it makes sure you keep your job, so it's also good for you)
For me it's important that it's documented how we do it, so that not only one person is able to do it.
Full ACK.
I'll publish a new workflow, including how it will work with git.
Thanks in advance! BTW: I'm away the next two days (without internet access), so it will take some days until I can answer your other mail. Regards, Christian Boltz -- But a cactus is stable.
