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.
