title: Use git on existing SVN repo
body: <p>I work with a legacy <code>svn</code> repo. However, I would like to enjoy the benefits of <code>git</code> on my local machine.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The first option is <code>git init</code> the root of my current repo, write code, and independently commit code locally (<code>git commit</code>) and remotely (<code>svn commit</code>). </li>
  <li>The second option is <a href="http://schacon.github.com/git/git-svn.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>git-svn</code></a>, but I don't know if it's worth the troube of learning the nuances of a new tool.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How should I go about this?</p>
