Is there a way to interface a git repository using svn’s command set?
Context: most of the members of our team want to switch to git from svn for all our new projects, but there are a few dissenters.
I know that it is possible to access an svn repo using git, but I’m looking for the opposite functionality.
Fundamentally no – not without making terrible assumptions and simplifications that are guaranteed to come back to bite you. Moving from a non-distributed to a distributed VCS, and making effective use of it, requires you to change your mindset. http://hginit.com/00.html has some notes on moving from svn to hg which would be similarly appropriate to this case.
