Hi,



I got a new Linux computer, cloned my package from github, made some changes. I am able to update the changes to github, but can not push it to Bioconductor svn repository. Can someone help me to solve the problem.



The following is what I did:



git svn clone https://github.com/xuz1/ENmix

cd ENmix

bash ../update_remotes.sh



#push to github

git checkout master

git add -A .

git commit -a -s -m "commit made by Xu"

git remote -v

git push origin master



#push to Bioconductor svn

git checkout devel



I am good up to here, but when I run the following command

git svn rebase --username  z.xu



It showed the following error message:



Data from a previous version of git-svn exists, but

        .git/svn

        (required for this version (1.7.1) of git-svn) does not exist.

Done migrating from a git-svn v1 layout

Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history



Can anyone guide me what should I do to solve this problem.



Thanks,

Zongli

The github repository is just a git repository, not SVN; you should 
follow the directions at scenario 2 of

checkout the git repository, add svn remotes, rebase with svn, make git 
commits, then dcommit to svn.
