After coming to love the idea of git and related version control systems, I finally decided to move all of my repos over to it. After quite the ordeal of getting gitosis+gitweb+git-daemon set up on Ubuntu, I'm finally ready to move my main personal repositories from SVN to git. Pretty straightforward, but I thought it would be best if I document it here as well:

The process:

1. Assuming you have git and git-svn installed, go ahead and clone your SVN repository

   git svn clone svn+ssh://lfowles.org/home/landon/src/school
   

2. Now, you need to clone what you just got from your SVN repo to a new git repo

   git clone --bare school school.git
   

3. That's it!

Now you have a git repository that you can stick in your gitosis repositories directory or wherever you store these things.

Over time I've become more and more disenchanted with SVN (especially when I found out that DVCS like git have commits seperated from pushes... revolutionary!) Soon enough I'll probably be switching my own repositories from SVN to Mercurial. Only a few things holding me back though:

1. SVN is everywhere! If the computers at school have any VCS type things installed, it's usually TortoiseSVN.
2. Well, actually, there's only one thing holding me back
