Re: Getting git-svn to recognize branchpoints?

[davetron5000 <davetron5000@gmail.com>]

OK, gitk is now showing it using the --all.

I did get the entire history.  It seems like when I merge, every file
that was changed on trunk since the branch shows up as a conflict,
including files that I have not changed on my branch.

For one particular file, the history is:

6/4/07 - File Created
8/9/07 - File modified
12/3/07 - File modified
4/24/08 - Branch created

The diffs of the conflict make no sense, e.g.

<< From Trunk
some_stuff();
that_was_added();
====
>> From My Branch

I've tried all the merge strategies, and nothing makes a difference...
