I have a project at work, and we use Subversion to version control everything. However, we have a client for a particular project who has used Git for something I need to check out and put in our project repository. Normally I would just check out the Git repo, export it into my SVN working copy, version the files, and be done with it. However, the guy regularly updates this code, and I need to stay near where he is at.
What would happen if I just check out the Git repository into my SVN working copy and version the files?
NOTE Git-svn is not an option, I have never used it and unfortunately I don’t have time to learn something new for this.
Just clone the Git repo. Nothing bad would happen and you will be able to update that code by doing
git update. You can safely commit a git repo into subversion, I have done it before.
