Hi,
Still newcomer in GIT ;-)

Let the nurpawiki SVN repo here: http://code.google.com/p/nurpawiki/source/checkout

I know how to clone it using "git svn clone ..." "git log" shows the whole history: fine!

Then I created an account in a forge (like github or so...), where I had to clone an empty GIT repository in order to begin to work. I dont have admin access to the forge, so no "scp" to the repo hosting possible.

Now, I have 2 "local" repos:
- the one from the SVN
- the empty one from the forge

I am looking for a document that would teach me how to "import" the "from-svn" into the empty one. What are the keywords for that action (to help me searching)?

After I do that, I will just have to push to the previously empty origin and I'm done.

Thanks for your help.
