The git-svn tool distributed with git greatly facilitates this. +However, using git-svn requires markedly different workflows, commands, +and mental processes than does working with git-native repositories. + +By leveraging the extensible nature of yap, its svn mode strives to make +a remote svn repository act and feel as much like a git repository as +possible to lessen the impedance mismatch to the user. + +Yap is still very much a work-in-progress. Patches are welcome. +Suggestions are welcome. Bug reports are expected. Hopefully this +yap can fill a gap in your git toolbox. -- 2.11.4.GIT
