-git-svn-clone-externals
-=======================
+git-svn-ext
+===========
 
-This is a very simple shell script to make git-svn clone your svn:externals
-definitions.  Place the script in a directory where you have one or more
-svn:externals definitions, run it, and it will:
+This work is based on git-svn-clone-externals and the associated
+scripts written by Andre Pang.
+
+The methodology remains the same.  Put git-svn-ext in your path and
+run it from the top-level tree checked out with git-svn.  git-svn-ext
+will detect and git-svn clone the externals using the following
+method:
 
 * git svn clone each external into a .git_externals/ directory.
 * symlink the cloned repository in .git_externals/ to the proper directory
   name.
 * add the symlink and .git_externals/ to the .git/info/excludes/ file, so that
   you're not pestered about it when performing a git status.
 
-That's pretty much about it.  Low-tech and cheap and cheery, but I couldn't
-find anything else like it after extensive Googling, so hopefully some other
-people out there with low-tech minds like mine will find this useful.
-
-You could certainly make the script a lot more complex and do things such as
-share svn:externals repositories between different git repositories, traverse
-through the entire git repository to detect svn:externals definitions instead
-of having to place the script in the correct directory, etc... but this works,
-it's simple, and it does just the one thing, unlike a lot of other git/svn
-integration scripts that I've found.  I absolutely do welcome those features,
-but I figured I'd push this out since it works for me and is probably useful
-for others.
-
-NB: This assumes you have passwordless svn.
-
-Enjoy,

-=====

-The git-svn-clone-externals script does a great job of cloning the
-svn:externals. However, in day-to-day work I want to check whether I
-need to push stuff and update a buch of 'external' repositories in one
-go. Therefore I creates some additional scripts.
-
-* ``git-svn-check-unpushed`` tries to determine whether there are
-  commits which are not yet pushed back to the subversion
-  repository. Originally I took this idea from Magit (an interface to
-  the version control system Git, implemented as an extension to
-  Emacs) and implemented it in Python instead of Lisp.
+but the code has been converted to python as one script with
+sub-commands, supports newer subversion urls, and adds a few new
+features.
 
-  This script can be run in every location of a git repository.
+From the usage output:
 
-* git-svn-externals-check is a script that displays whether there are
-  uncommitted changes or commits that are not pushed to the subversion
-  repository yet. Basically it executes ``git status`` and the
-  ``git-svn-check-unpushed`` scripts for each directory in the current
-  directory.
+Usage: ./git-svn-ext <sub command> [sub command args]
 
-  This script must be run in the directory where the original
-  svn:externals property was set. It does not walk the complete tree
-  to search for these kind of repositories.
+  sub commmands:
+    clone          : clone all svn externals into .git_externals
+      (warning: removes local changes and commits on subsequent runs)
+    update         : Updates all svn externals (git svn fetch[ --revision]/rebase --local)
+    check-unpushed : Check if local git-svn checkout has unpushed commits
+    check          : run 'git status' and 'check-unpushed' for all externals
+    for-all        : run a command against all externals
+      (ie: git svn-ext for-all git grep 'whatever')
 
-* git-svn-externals-update complements the git-svn-externals-check
-  script. The update script does an ``git svn fetch`` and ``git svn
-  rebase`` for every directory in the location where the script is
-  executed.
+  Notes:
+    externals may be ignored if listed in .git_external_excludes
 
-  This script must also be run in the directory where the original
-  svn:externals property was set.
-
-
-Feel free to use and improve these scripts.

 =======
-
-* External repository's url can be rewritten, to use SVN+SSH instead of
-  plain HTTP or HTTPS. To do so, do `export USE_SSH=yes` in your environment.
-  This can be useful if you use ssh authentication, but other developers don't.
-* If you don't want to pull all external repositories, you can create a
-  .git_externals_exclude file which contains the local paths to be excluded,
-  one per line, the same way they show up on the first field of git svn show-externals
