I would like to use Git. I really would. I have one and only one objection against it, and that's (what I hear is) poor Windows support. (Before you ask, I'd rather run Linux on my machine, but it's not possible.)
Right... Unfortunately I can't really offer much help in that respect; I also don't know how your Windows workflow looks like -- e.g. if you used Cygwin, then you could use Git in Cygwin roughly the same way you would on Linux (I guess :)). Other than that, the "Git on Windows" page on the Git wiki <https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/MSysGit:Home> (contents of which are really just the same as the msysGit project home page <http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/>) really seems to suggest that it's still rather for the adventurous, and mentions using Cygwin in case something goes awry (but it might be somewhat dated). You might also have a look at other Git front-ends <https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools>, some of which mention working on Windows -- there is even a Git port of TortoiseSVN.
But let's try. viper-in-more-modes is our testbed again:
git://git.assembla.com/viper-in-more-modes.git
To convert from SVN, I typed the following commands:
git svn clone --stdlayout http://svn6.assembla.com/svn/viper-in-more-modes git remote add origin [email protected]:viper-in-more-modes.git git push origin master
Again, the repo looks fine. Štěpán
