Hello. My group is currently using subversion on our version control server, but would like to move to git as a client. We are considering using git-svn, to avoid revalidating the server software. My question is, are there any major disadvantages to using git-svn versus git? I know that the git repository would be smaller. I'm more concerned about possible svn repository corruption, performance when pushing large merges back to svn, and any gotchas you might have encountered. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ed
