Thank you again for your reply :-) Ahh, yes, that makes sense about the local repository. However, on checking, the local repository that I set up has no files except in .git directories - is that to be expected at this stage?
Also, when I tried "git svn rebase", I got the following error:
"Migrating from a git-svn v1 layout...
"Data from a previous version exists, but .git/svn (required for this version (1.6.2 msysgit.0.186.gf7512) of git-svn) does not exist. Done migrating from a git-svn v1 layout
"Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history"
And the local directories for the repositories are still empty. Am I doing something wrong...?
Heya,

You can continue downloading, just issue' git svn rebase' again, and it will continue where it left of.

You would have to push the repository to github regardless of whether 'git svn rebase' finished in one go. Keep in mind that' git svn rebase' is the way to get changes _into_ your _local_ repository. You'll need to use 'git push' to get your changes up to github.
