newbie question: git on existing svn repo via eclipse on windows

Michael Gaber· Mar 24, 2009, 09:22 UTC · lore

Hello,

I hope I'm right here to post this question and it hasn't been answered 100k times already. I'm currently programming my bachelor-thesis and my university only gives me a svn repository. Since I'm working a big amount of time offline I'd like to have the features a dvcs offers me to commit whenever i have completed a minor step even while I'm offline, so I don't forget what I've done until i get online again. Is there a simple way to do this especially on windows while using eclipse and egit.

Thanks Michael

Depends on your definition of "simple". Egit has no SVN support whatsoever, so you have to use git-svn and egit side-by-side to accomplish your tasks.
