I have a bit of experience with subgit (https://subgit.com/). The main recommendation I have is to be careful with fast-forward merges ;) > Also, how can I ‘sell’ the switch from Subversion to Git?

Use the bridge myself to speed up and simplify my own work. 3. Expose the bridge on the network so others can use it. 4. Mention it in a meeting. 5. Wait. 6. Profit. That's it. Sooner or later someone will ask about using it, maybe it's a new hire or someone that's been exposed to DVCS before. Add them to your bridge so usernames/passwords/etc are done correctly, then just let them use it. In some cases the bridge has been moved to a more formal home within a few weeks, sometimes I've run the bridge myself for the entire time (migrating it to a colleague's machine when I left). In either case, I'm more productive and happy :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus But whereas I previously held for Java a cordial dislike borne of having only a cursory notion of how it worked, now my dislike for the language can no longer be called at all "cordial", for familiarity has bred contempt. — Tom Christiansen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
