With git being the awesome version control system that it is, I switched to using git-svn for all our Web-Empowered Church extensions. That way I get the easy branching and merging while still being compatible with Subversion and everyone else who’s using it (and who hasn’t seen the light yet…).

Now I have a directory that contains all our wec_* extensions. With Subversion, I could do a simple “svn up *” and it would update all the working copies inside the subdirectories. Unfortunately, git doesn’t do that.

Ruby to the rescue:

!/usr/bin/env ruby

def rebase(dir)
  Dir.chdir(dir) do |path|
      puts "Rebasing #{path}...."
      git svn rebase
      puts "done!\n\n"
  end
end

if ARGV[0].nil?
  dirs = Dir["*/"]
  dirs.each do |dir|
    rebase(dir)
  end
else
  rebase ARGV[0]
end

Just stuck this into the directory above all the extensions. Now I can rebase all extensions automatically with one little command, or just one by giving an optional argument.
