0 $ git checkout origin warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born. warning: Forcing checkout of origin. Switched to branch "origin" 0 $ git checkout -b master Switched to a new branch "master" 0 $ git svnimport -v http://spring-rich-c.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/spring-rich-c/trunk/spring-richclient
