You*really* should use git-svn. It's trivial to push any line of history to any branch on any subversion server.
If you have the time, would you mind outlining your workflow? There is something about the manual that just doesn't work with my brain.
I'd be happy to talk to you about that, but probably offlist, because I use git-svn for non-Boost things. But one thing that I did in past and which is relevant to current discussion is: - Mirror an SVN branch with some third-party component and a pile of patches to git. - Mirror an SVN branch with later version of third-party component to git. - Move patches from one branch to another, rearranging them heavily - Push changes to the second branch in SVN. This was pretty painful, but most of the pain was due to 'git rebase': - Being totally unreliable in some earlier version - Having rather awkward behaviour in all versions git-svn on the other hand, worked just fine. - Volodya
