Deleting trunk

[joerg.s...@gmx.de]

Hello,

can anybody tell me, what happens if trunk is deleted in Subversion? Will SubGit simply remove the master branch?

Background: The sources in Subversion will go into maintenance mode, e.g. we have several branches, but trunk is discontinued and should no longer be used.

Cheers,
Jörg

Hello Joerg,
You're absolutely right, as SVN 'trunk' corresponds to Git 'master', trunk
deletion corresponds to master deletion. This is true if you're using standard
trunk/branches/tags/shelves options:

        trunk = trunk:refs/heads/master
        branches = branches/*:refs/heads/*
        shelves = shelves/*:refs/shelves/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/tags/*

The only side effect of that is that when Git repository has no master, by
default "git clone" won't checkout any branch because usually it checks out
'master' branch. But this is easily solvable by running "git checkout
branchname" immediately after "git clone".
