[Bioc-devel] Bioconductor git-svn bridge is available

Hi all

Following Kasper's idea from a couple of months ago: Would it be possible to have the git-svn bridge synchronise a branch other than master? 

If so, one could use the git subtree command,

git subtree split -P minfi -b biocsvn

to create a branch 'biocsvn' only containing minfi directory [package]. This branch would then be synchronised over the git-svn bridge. Changes in the biocsvn branch can be merged back into the master branch and the correct directory with 

git subtree merge -P minfi biocsvn

I would also fancy a directory structure as Kasper suggested, where the actual R package is a subdirectory. This would allow for placing extra files such as README.md or Makefile into the root directory and other project related data which shouldn't go into the package, but may be useful, in other directories. As a side effect one can also screw up the git master branch without breaking the devel repository.

I'm not a git guru, so maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems feasible.

Cheers,

Moritz

PS. Resent as it bounced from list before.
