How to find SVN version in subgit repository?

Question

I am using Subgit to access the Subversion repo. It works fine, but sometimes, especially when communicating with users who access the repo using the regular Subversion client, I would really like to find which version of SVN corresponds to a specific set of changes.

Can I use git find the SVN revision number somewhere in my local repo?

Yes, you can do it easily. You should just modify your .git/config file in the cloned Git repository to add

 [remote "origin"] ... fetch = +refs/svn/map:refs/notes/commits 

and then run git fetch as described in the Recommended Git Client Configuration section

to do refs / notes / commits, run refs / svn / map updated by SubGit and save the latest version of ↔ SHA-1. After that, git log on the server will also display version numbers.

If you want to convert revisions to SHA-1 hashes in scripts (after setting up Git notes in any of the ways mentioned above), you can use this command

 $ git log --format="%H %N" --all 

combined with string parsing functions. For instance. if you care about angular cases (for example, the name of the branch is "r $ REV branch"), to get SHA-1 and change the name of the branch according to REV, you can run

 $ git log --format="%H %N" --all | grep "r$REV " 

Similarly, you can grep SHA-1 or branch names here.
