Hello Eric,
  hmm, understand,
  but this just does an checkout to the working dir

  the reason for using git is:
    - work offline, with (at least read) access to all the svn branches
    - have some more (privat, not commit back to svn) branches for experiments
    - all the nice git stuff ..
regards,
Fabian
