35 35  (This kind of repeats some of the previous section, but that's on purpose so we can condition you brain to start using git right now ;-) )
36 36  Even while you are working with svn repositories, you can start learning and taking advantage of git right now by making your local svn working copy an actual local git repository. The idea is to use the appropriate ignore feature of each SCM system to ignore the hidden files of the other system. The concept is described here:

44 -For Eclipse setup when using git locally on svn working copies, just check out the entire svn branch on the command line, then LINK (import no copy) the projects you want in your workspace using the Subclipse import tool, and just do your git operations (status, staging, commit, diff, branching, checkouts, rebase and merge using the terminal). git on the terminal is efficient... honest.

48 +* Do all your local work and cimmits on branches other than the master branch.
49 +* Switch to master branch to update from svn and commit those svn updates on the master branch.
50 +* Merge your working branch(es) with or rebase your working branch(es) from the master and just keep on working.
51 +* Switch to master branch before synchronizing with remote svn repo.
