However, power users (aka "cool kids") will probably only use it for history viewing while they continue to use the terminal command line for checkouts, branching, staging, rebasing and committing.

35 35  OK, so you are addicted to git, and now you have to work on a team project that is hosted in a remote subversion repository ... and it is making you depressed :-(. Well, you can use manage your local svn working copy using git and be happy again!

37 -There is a git-svn tool (type man git-svn in the terminal for details), but that adds yet another tool into the mix that you have to learn. So while you could use it and YMMV for projects tht are going to be on svn forever, I recommend you just use the [[git+svn protocol>>http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/derickbailey/archive/2010/02/03/branch-per-feature-how-i-manage-subversion-with-git-branches.aspx]] instead, especially if you are typically working on one particular branch of the remote svn repository.

46 -When you first learn about git and you google "git svn" you will learn about a command line tool git-svn which works directly with remote svn repos. Unless you want to use git locally to switch between svn branches, I don't recommend it. Use the **git+svn** approach outlined in above blog post instead.
