And "svn rebase" instead of pull, right?

This feature would be awesome.

"svn rebase" or "svn fetch"

I'm getting an error, "Unable to determine upstream SVN information", when I try to use one of the git svn commands from the Commands menu, e.g. SVN Fetch. The repository was created using git svn clone and the remote tracking branches have a "svn/" prefix, e.g. "refs/remotes/svn/trunk".

This answer maybe help you http://stackoverflow.com/a/3445081/61505

Thanks for that but git svn commands like git svn info and git svn fetch work fine from the command-line. I don't believe I have disjoint histories because this is a fresh clone of the SVN repo and I haven't made any commits using git yet.

I'm using git version 1.7.10.msysgit.1.

Could you show your repository config file (at least “svn-remote” section)?
You can use userscripts as a workaround, just add few buttons on toolbar with appropriate icons.

I have found the userscripts workaround, thanks. Here's my config file:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    symlinks = false
    ignorecase = true
    hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
[svn-remote "svn"]
    url = http://torsvn/repos
    fetch = PerformaSure/performasure/trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
    branches = PerformaSure/performasure/branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/*
    tags = PerformaSure/performasure/tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/svn/*
[svn]
    authorsfile = C:/dev/svnauthors

It would be awesome to have svn rebase\fetch instead of pull on pushing pull button when working with git-svn repository

I don't know if any of the core team members use svn...
So unless someone, who really needs the svn support, is willing to contribute - this isn't going to happen....

The support in GE is very limited. Is anyone using SVN at all in GE?
Is SVN really a use case with GE, why not use a separate client?
"Full" SVN support in GE will not happen unless someone with that interest put work into it.

SVN is not a major blocker for development, but it is still something I would like to remove rather than enhance.
