I don't know how fragile it is as I haven't worked according to this workflow. I only copied what I have learned from reading various resources. However, I call it fragile, because to use git svn safely in workflow that synchronises projects in both ways, in-depth understanding of SVN and Git is necessary, IMHO. Especially understanding of Git because Git is such a powerful tool that it is possible to do things in many ways. Otherwise, it is easy to break things. Here are the two resources I can recommend: http://learn.github.com/p/git-svn.html http://progit.org/book/ch8-1.html If you look at the last sections of both, it is "Rules and Guidelines" and "Git-Svn Summary", you will notice quite a number of "health and safety" rules included in those fairly short paragraphs. This tells me, it is easy to blow things up.
