Bug#592495: git-svn: info fails with absolute path
Thomas Themel
Version: 1:1.7.1-1.1
Severity: normal
I have some cmake based builds that want to automatically figure
out the revision of the working copy we're building. Normally, this
is done by running "svn info <root path>", with an absolute path.
I'm trying to replace svn with git-svn here, and simply changing
this to "git svn info <root path>" doesn't work with absolute paths.
Since all other git commands do, I don't see why this should be the case.

Sounds sensible to me. Any advice for people who would like to
work on this?

Hi Jonathan,
One should have to resolve the GIT_DIR from $root_path first (using
(rev-parse --git-dir) and then probably use ls-tree to figure out
how to canonicalize the path based on $root_path.
I've been stuck on David's problem[1] for a bit (and distracted by other
Free software projects, too), but this shouldn't be tough to do.
