My own GIT-SVN Crib Sheet.

  1. Most useful reference thus far: http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html
  2. Good stuff on branching / merging and the rest of what makes GIT a bit confusing to newbs: http://lwn.net/Articles/210045/
  3. Linus' top tips (very helpful!): http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html
  4. GIT-SVN Workflow
  5. Git - SVN Crash Course — side-by-side command comparison
  6. An introduction to git-svn for deserters — bit overwhelming
  7. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#how-to-get-a-git-repository
  8. Use GIT to talk to SVN repositories with the “git-svn” command.

SVN Tricks
