title: Git & tortoise Svn - migration
body: <p>Scenario:</p>
  
  <p>We have been using SVN for managing our code base. SVN repo is setup on a linux server and developers work with this repo using tortoise svn on windows os . </p>
  
  <p>Now, we need to migrate to GIT as we are terrified with svn when it comes to branching and merging. I have been provided another linux server where I can set up a git repo and then train developers to move to git from svn. </p>
  
  <p>I read the git-svn official documents and a few other google search related results. I think I have made a mistake but not sure :</p>
  
  <p>I extracted svn user info using the svn log command </p>
  
  <p>Went to the linux server and used git svn clone command with the -s flag since we have a standard layout. </p>
  
  <p>Installed msysgit on my windows machine and thought of cloning the git repo so that I can test git repo while developers continue to push their changes to svn repo as usual. Once, people have been trained with git then we could have moved to git repo completely. </p>
  
  <p>The concern out here that I am not sure if this is the correct way. Since, all the migration links, docs talk about *nix systems, not sure if this is how it is to be done. 
  Can someone please provide some inputs of what the correct procedure should be and how should I proceed with this migration. </p>
