It's still valid on Mac OS X Lion. Here's what I had to do in order to convert an existing svn repository into git: <code> sudo port install subversion-perlbindings sudo port install git-core +svn sudo gem install svn2git </code> (assuming macports is installed) Then I was able to run svn2git to do all the magic.

I'm very pleased to join this great team of garden gnomes! (Can I be the middle one in the picture? He looks damn happy!) I think I'm gonna learn a lot with you guys and soon become the ninja I've always dreamed to be when I was kid (although it didn't involve computers at that time!). Thanks Djief!

Sure it’s nice to put your projects on it and be able to fork other projects, but it was still pretty useless as there was no way of visualizing all the branches (git is all about the commit graph).

It was your Guerilla Guide to Git that convinced me to try Git out, since I was happily using SVN & Beanstalk prior to that. So I was happy that I'd be able to try Git but still use Beanstalk. Needless to say, a couple of weeks and a GitHub invite later and my Beanstalk account is lying dormant. Git is awesome. But yeah, thanks for what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

Take a look at the git reset command. It can be used to completely destroy revisions. However, if that is on public repo, then it's very dangerous. If other people cloned the repo and have commits based on the revision you destroyed, it's going to be painful to recover from that. It depends on the kind of mess you created.

I appreciate repo.or.cz, but one of its drawbacks is that it doesn't allow you to delete a project or your project Git repo in case you ever mess up your project Git repo and want to re-create it. Does Git allow a user to delete and re-create the master branch in a remote repository? This would solve the problem on repo.or.cz that I mention above.
