title: Git SVN and merging branches
body: <p>I am working on a svn project with two branches, lets call them</p>
  
  <pre><code>trunk
  branches/foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My idea is to clone the whole svn repository (telling git which folder are trunk, tags and branches), do the merge in git and then copy my merge to a svn working copy and commit the changes from svn.</p>
  
  <p>In this workflow, will I be able to use gits merging power or will that only work for branches created with git itself?</p>
