Using git for offline commits to a subversion repository

In my previous post about git I mentioned that one of the nice things about git is it’s support of svn and cvs. I only mentioned it briefly but this is one of the features that keeps making people go “Wow, that’s cool!” when I explain it to them. So you can use git on a project which is centrally stored in svn or cvs or one where other team members are using svn or cvs. Here’s an example of using git with subversion.

Moving from Subversion to Git for revision control

I’ve been using Subversion for version control for the last couple of years. It’s a lot nicer than cvs and I was quite happy with it. Then last week Olivier pointed me towards a presentation by Linus Torvalds about Git. The talk got me interested in trying out Git and I started playing around with it.
