<div dir="ltr">A couple months ago I noticed that github will masquerade as a subversion server! [1] This was the catalyst for migrating most of our remaining projects from svn to git. All of our C#/C++ projects run on older versions of Visual Studio, which do not have good git support, so I just use the svn client and I can't even tell the difference! The only snag that I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to support svn:externals (or at the very least, does not import those settings by default), but I have not exhausted my investigation on that front yet.<div>

<div dir="ltr">I gave git svn some time last night. Setup was very straightforward and it crunched along for about half an hour before dying. My only theory is that something killed my connection to the vtigercrm svn server. I was smashing it pretty hard, so it wasn't entirely unexpected.<div>

<div><br></div><div>Let me prototype the git svn bridge first, but if you have someone with permissions to set up svn hooks, I think you should take ownership of this space.
