A1.6 Git to SVN Bridge

The ability to receive and send commits to and from a Subversion repository is one of the many finishing touches that sets Git apart from all the other DVCSs. These are a few of the more common commands used when working with a remote SVN repository. You can find out more about them in Chapter 10, Migrating to Git.

​prompt> git svn clone <svn repository>

​prompt> git svn clone -s <svn repository>

Clone an Entire SVN Repository with Nonstandard Layout

 
​prompt> git svn clone -T <trunk path> ...
