Currently git-svn assumes that two tags created from the same
revision will have the same repo url, so it uses a ref to the
tag without checking that its url matches the current url.
This causes issues when fetching an svn repo where a tag was
created, deleted, and then recreated under the following
circumstances:
- Both tags were copied from the same revision.
- Both tags had the same name.
- Both tags had different repository paths.
- [Optional] Both tags have a file with the same name but
different content.
When all four conditions are met, a checksum mismatch error
occurs because the content of two files with the same path
differs (see t/t9155--git-svn-fetch-deleted-tag.sh):
Checksum mismatch: ChangeLog 065854....
expected: ce771b....
got: 9563fd....
When only the first three conditions are met, no error occurs
but the tag in git matches the first (deleted) tag instead of
the last (most recent) tag (see
t/t9156-git-svn-fetch-deleted-tag-2.sh).
The fix is to verify that the repo url for the ref matches the
current url. If the urls do not match, then a "tail" is grown
on the tag name by appending a dash and rechecking the new ref's
repo url until either a matching repo url is found or a new tag
is created.

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
