Description

Assuming you have a local git branch "1.0" which is where you "git svn rebase" and "git svn dcommit" for an SVN branch, a common use case would be:

1. git checkout -b new-1.0-fix 1.0
2. hack hack hack, commit commit commit
3. post-review --gitsvnparent=1.0

The reasons why I need a feature like this are best described in the bug.

Testing Done

what is the difference between specifiying the parent as the branch you want to diff against, and diff gitsvn_parent_branch?

Have your read the bug?  I think it explains what this new option is for pretty well.  If you still have questions after reading the bug, let me know.

Ah, I see.

I ran into a similar issue, my solution was to make the "master" branch not hard coded.
I think it is a mistake of post-review to assume a given branch layout for git/git-svn.

I think hef's change (/r/889) is a good way to go, so long as it doesn't break existing setups. Sandy, would you mind trying it and seeing if it solves your problem?

I think these are the lines I commented out to get the behavior from --parent I wanted.

I don't know if that is the right solution or not though.

I also changed this line to:
rev = execute(["git", "svn", "find-rev", parent_branch]).strip()
