My opinion is that attempting to use git-svn to get a feeling of git is not a good idea. There's too much slowness of svn involved, too much pain of trying to learn git while also trying to learn git-svn (which itself has corner cases and such that pure git doesn't) and there's no bidirectional 1:1 mapping between branches (that I've found), eliminating a huge part of the joy of git -- cheap branches. Better to start developing on a pure git project to get a feel. You can't go wrong with sympy, for example. :) -Andrew _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
